🖤❤️💚 Juneteenth reminds us that freedom is not just a moment in history—it is a foundation for growth, achievement, and lasting impact.

In the years following emancipation, HBCUs became beacons of hope and opportunity, creating pathways for African Americans to pursue higher education, leadership, and success. Today, their influence can be seen in communities across the nation.

The Port City Classic proudly celebrates that legacy by bringing together two historic HBCU institutions for a weekend filled with tradition, school pride, fellowship, and championship football.

🏈 Tuskegee University vs. Fort Valley State University
📅 Saturday, September 5, 2026
⏰ Kickoff: 4:00 PM
📍 Ladd-Peebles Stadium | Mobile, Alabama

As we honor Juneteenth, we also recognize the enduring contributions of HBCUs and the generations of leaders they continue to inspire.

More Than Just a Game… It’s an HBCU Experience.
