“Texas Southern University is one of the most prestigious HBCUs in the country and a perfect location for this annual event. We are truly excited about the opportunity to make history once again during Final Four Weekend and host the first ever HBCU All-Star Game on an HBCU campus,” said Travis L. Williams, HBCU All-Stars, LLC Founder/CEO. “This is an unbelievable opportunity to honor HBCUs’ contribution to the great game of college basketball and showcase the nation’s best HBCU student-athletes and brilliant coaches on a national stage during college basketball’s biggest weekend. This historic endeavor will continue raising national awareness of our prestigious HBCUs rich legacy of academic and athletic achievement.”
This event is far more than a basketball game. It will celebrate Black culture, Black excellence, and Black history through the HBCU Experience and will be highlighted by an HBCU All-Stars College Admissions Fair, Community Outreach and Engagement, Pro Day Combine, Welcome Reception, Awards Ceremony, and Social Justice & Civil Rights panel discussion.
In addition, a week-long festival will be held, kicking off the week on March 28 and concluding after the championship game on April 4.
The HBCU All-Star Game will generate black tourism dollars to stimulate the local Houston community and invest in youth and senior citizens outreach programs. A portion of proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the HBCU All-Stars Scholarship Fund.
Tickets for the second annual HBCU All-Star Game are officially on-sale and can be purchased through Eventbrite at HBCU All-Game.
