Like many colleges, homecoming incorporates school spirit, reunions, and football. However, at an HBCU, there are additional activities unique to these historic institutions such as Greek-letter fraternity/sorority step shows, marching band competitions, day parties, parades, and more, all which serve to preserve Black history & culture. To learn more about HBCUs, visit this website or watch a preview of the PBS Documentary: "Tell Them We Are Rising: The Story of Black Colleges & Universities."
