(Black PR Wire) As we enter the fall season, that can only mean one thing. . . HBCU football is back! Students, alumni, and communities gather for one of the most exciting times of the year. From the captivating energy of the marching bands to the pride of seeing Divine Nine organizations stroll and step, and of course we can’t forget the thrilling homecoming celebrations.

Every weekend, stadiums are filled with the sights and sounds that make HBCU traditions special and unforgettable. Tailgates bring families, friends and generations of alumni together over food and fellowship. Then you have Homecoming activities and events that showcase school spirit. For many, these traditions mean more than football, they are about legacy, HBCU pride, Black excellence, and unity.
