Notre Dame's 1st African-American valedictorian
(CNN) – Notre Dame's 2010 graduation will be unlike any other in the university's 168 year history.
The class valedictorian's resume might sound familiar: 4.0 GPA, aspiring doctor, mentor to young people, but Katie Washington is different because she's the university's first African-American valedictorian. Our Kiran Chetry had the opportunity to chat with Katie about her reaction to the news.
