The centennial celebration for past and current Bison will look a little different this year.
Howard University announced the cancellation of its Homecoming Tailgate Party, to the disappointment of many.
Howard claims the removal of the official Tail Gate Party comes from the desire “to create a more unique and family-friendly experience on Saturday.”
Howard, affectionately called “the Mecca” by its Alumni, is one of the nation’s leading HBCUs. Not only is the institution renowned for its education, it is also known for its impressive list of celebrity alumni. The Howard Halls have been graced by current Vice-President and presidential candidate Kamala Harris, Oscar winner Samuel Jackson Jr., and famous late actor Chadwick Boseman.
The campus is considered a bastion of Black culture and is attended by Black people from all across the diaspora. The Tailgate Party is a much-anticipated event that allows past and present Bison to network and fellowship,
