Dear Class of 2020 was a 2020 online event streamed live on June 7, 2020 on YouTube. It was a virtual commencement event that features speeches and performances from prominent personalities aimed at graduating students of all levels whose actual ceremonies were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The event also highlighted the George Floyd protest following the murders of George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, and the shooting of Breonna Taylor.{{Cite web|url=https://www.standard.co.uk/insider/alist/youtube-dear-class-of-2020-highlights-a4462366.html|title=YouTube's Dear Class of 2020 highlights: From Michelle Obama to Beyonce and BTS|first=Megan C.|last=Hills|date=June 9, 2020|website=Evening Standard|access-date=June 11, 2020}} Originally scheduled on June 6, the event was rescheduled the day after to avoid clashing with the memorial service for George Floyd held on that date in Raeford, North Carolina.{{Cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2020/06/barack-obama-michelle-obama-to-headline-youtubes-dear-class-of-2020-virtual-commencement-event-1202926308/|title=YouTube Reschedules Virtual Commencement Ceremony With The Obamas, Beyoncé Due To George Floyd Memorial Service – Watch|first=Denise|last=Petski|date=June 7, 2020|website=Deadline|access-date=June 11, 2020}}
