    AAMU starting off a Thanksgiving parade with "Backstabbers" was Epic. Lets Commemorate you Colonizers Backstabbing the natives after you just sat and feasted with them. That might have went over some people head. Great Job!!!!❤❤❤

It was amazing we all were beaming with HBCU Pride. #Morehouse #Spelman #Howard #Tuskegee #Hampton

    Alabama A&M, you represented with EXCELLENCE!!!! I was so proud of each of you, especially my nephew on cymbals! As an alumni and also having been a band member back in the early 80’s, it was heartwarming to witness this moment. I was up at 5:30am California time and it was worth every moment! Which reminds me, I am from Forkland AL, A&M’s placement office assisted me in finding a co-op/intern position in 1982, graduated in 1984, they offered me a permanent position and I’ve been in California every since!! I thank this amazing institution for affording me such a wonderful opportunity and an awesome life style!
