It's National HBCU Week!

As part of National Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Week and in conjunction with Michelle Obama’s “When We All Vote,” #SquadUP Homecoming, a Voter Registration event, will air on YouTube on Saturday, September 26, at 8 pm EST.

This first of its kind virtual homecoming event is produced in partnership with Pink Bison, a collective of Howard University alumni, who were initiated into Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Alpha Chapter on the campus of Howard, in 1986.

The interactive show will include classic HBCU homecoming events such as musical performances, step teams, celebrity shoutouts/cameos, “Divine 9” representation, marching bands and all of the fashion and passion that make the HBCU homecoming experience so unique in the African-American community. The family-friendly event will be hosted by Billy Sorrells and will include voter registration pre-recorded video segments from celebrities including 2Chainz, who will share empowering information about how returning citizens can check if they are eligible and register to vote.

The goal of #SquadUP Homecoming is to provide voting tips to encourage and inspire young adults nationwide to register to vote before registration deadlines end in early October. According to Pew Research Center, the voter turnout for ages 18 – 24 was only 39.4% in the 2016 presidential election. The 18 - 24 age group historically has the lowest voter turnout among all age groups. During the #SQUADUP event, viewers will be able to register on http://www.whenweallvote.org/howard to learn more about how they can cast their vote in the upcoming presidential election. 

#SquadUP Homecoming premieres during National HBCU Week, September 20 – 26, 2020.
