Revival

Marking the 100th anniversary of HBCU Homecomings, the 2024 Howard University Homecoming was held October 13-20, 2024. The Howard vs. Lincoln University game in 1924 set a trend which sparked a national phenomenon, and since that time, HBCU Homecomings have become an American treasure. With its unique blend of historical homage, affirming engagement, jaw-dropping entertainment, and cultural evolution, the Howard Homecoming experience perpetually draws tens of thousands who revel in the university’s societal and intellectual influence.
