An HBCU performed at the commemoration of D-Day this year.
Certain that the school and program didn't have to pay for travel and accommodations.


Doesn't ad up that an American university band is paying to play the inauguation of the U.S. President.
It’s trump . He doesn’t pay for shyt and thinks everyone owes him / should give him money for being allowed in his presence

Ethically speaking, given their original founding principles, it may be an offer worth turning down.

The founding principles of MVSU? You sure? Check out their page at the Rate this HBCU thread


It was proposed in 1946 by White Mississippi legislators (particularly state senator SH Kyle, a Delta landowner) as a vocational college to train tradesmen and teachers to make the relationship between races in the Delta more 'harmonious'. It had to change proposed locations several times due to local White NIMBY hostility. Also, probably unique as HBCU founding stories go, by 1950 when it was founded, the Mississippi legislature had another aim--creating a school that would attract Black students so they would not apply to White schools that were increasingly concerned about a threat to legal segregation in schooling (which happened with Brown v. Board in 1954). A testament to these origins are buildings on campus that stay named after racist, arch-segregationst politicians--most notoriously Walter Sillers, Jr., an open White nationalist regarded as one of the most racist politicians in the state's history.
