The school year has started and football is about to kick off, which means that HBCU Homecoming Season is around the corner. Homecoming is a time to celebrate the legacy and contributions of historically black colleges and universities around the nation as well as a time for alumni to come back to visit their alma mater. HBCU homecomings are a cultural moment, as students bring fresh energy to the yard and celebrities show up to further enhance the experience.
