For alumni and students of HBCUs, homecoming is far more than just about the game. “Homecoming is a special thing. I have missed maybe five homecomings since I finished at Morgan. That tells you everything” said 1981 graduate Malika Moore, who had secured a plane ticket, hotel and hair appointment for homecoming at Morgan State University. However, following the shooting on campus that left five people injured, it was announced homecoming for the first time ever would not go on at the historically Black college. While there is disappointment about the homecoming postponement, Moore said she was not mad about it, but sad. “We should not have to go through this. Those students should not have to go through this. There should not be people coming on our campus or any campus creating this kind of situation where students are shot.” Read more at the link in bio. 📷️ Afro American Newspapers/Gado / Getty Images file
