BLACK HISTORY CONTINUED

HOMECOMING

Client: New York Times

Streamed on Oct. 20th, 2021 for a virtual event exploring the legacy and traditions of historically Black colleges and universities with The Times’s Nikole Hannah-Jones, Veronica Chambers and others. As schools across the U.S. gear up for homecoming celebrations, whether in real life or virtually, we explore homecoming at historically Black colleges and universities (known as H.B.C.U.s) with discussions about their legacy and Black girlhood, community and spirit.

The Times’s Veronica Chambers and Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff will host Well-Read Black Girl founder Glory Edim; activist and author Jodie Patterson; managing director of the Antiracist Research & Policy Center at American University Christine Platt; media executive and founder of Native Son Emil Wilbekin; VICE correspondent Alzo Slade; and The Times’s Nikole Hannah-Jones. The evening will include inspiring music by Lucky Daye, Willard Hill and The Soul Rebels, and work from animation director Lyndon Barrois. We will feel the joyful spirit of fellowship and enjoy the energy of marching bands and drumlines stepping, and the simple radical act of togetherness.
