Johnson C Smith University hadn’t had a full-scale homecoming celebration since before the pandemic started but all of that changed this past weekend.  If you have ever attended an HBCU or have ever been around an HBCU campus then you know how important homecoming is to the school and its alumni.

Head football coach Maurice Flowers, an alum himself, said “This is the first all-time week I’ve actually been a part of it,” he said. “As we tell our football team, homecoming is for alumni and the city and the school. It’s not for the football team except for the game.”

The city was flooded with events and alumni coming back home to celebrate the school they have so much pride in.

What homecoming are you excited about being able to go to?

North and South Carolina HBCUs Rank in Top 10 for Best HBCUs

HBCUs, or Historically Black Colleges and Universities, are compared each year to determine the best in the country. Multiple HBCUs are compared based on their quality of education. Many represent their HBCU until the day they die and promote theirs as being the BEST school out. But, the national rankings do answer a lot of questions and give bragging rights.

U.S. News has its list of the best HBCUs for the 2022-2023 school year. These HBCUs are compared only to one another. There are a total of 77 schools that were evaluated in the ranking. One school from South Carolina and another from North Carolina both ranked in the top 10 best HBCUs for the 2022-2023 school year. The schools both tied for the No. 9 spot. Can you guess which local HBCUs made the list? Probably, but check out the top 10 HBCUs for the 2022-2023 school year below.
