Like many educational facilities, historically Black schools and universities have been compelled to cancel classic homecoming celebrations due to the ongoing pandemic. But that doesn’t indicate there won’t be any celebrations.

Tonight, YouTube Originals and Guess present HBCU Homecoming 2020: Meet up with Me on the Yard—a two-hour digital occasion hosted by HBCU alums 2 Chainz and La La Anthony. The stream will include appearances by existing and previous HBCU college students who will mirror on their greater education encounters and the legacy of their respective alma maters. It will also incorporate musical guests Saweetie, Chloe x Halle, NLE Choppa, Ari Lennox, Spillage Village, and Tye Tribbett, as effectively as performances by Divine 9 stage teams, the Jackson Condition University’s Sonic Growth of the South, and FAMU’s Marching 100.

Jesse Collins Entertainment and Stay Nation Urban are generating the digital occasion, which will increase money for the United Negro University Fund and the Thurgood Marshall School Fund.

“We are so fired up to be a section of this clearly show. HBCUs are these an vital component of our lifestyle and the annual homecoming custom just are unable to be stopped,” government producers Jesse Collins and Dionne Harmon of Jesse Collins Entertainment mentioned in a press release. “We are honored to associate with YouTube and Stay Nation to provide all the exhilaration of an HBCU Homecoming weekend to a virtual globe stage.”
