Denzel Washington gave an uplifting, inspiring and unusual commencement address to graduates of Dillard University in New Orleans, Louisiana on May 9, 2015. Unusual because you don't often hear celebrities speak of their faith and pray in public, but Denzel did. He told the graduates, "I pray that you put your slippers way under your bed tonight, so that when you wake up in the morning, you have to get on your knees to reach them. And while you're down there, say thank you."
