100th anniversary of Howard homecoming: A look back before the party starts
Briefly

In November 1924, Washington's U Street bustled with entertainment and cultural figures, highlighting the significant role this area played in African American history and community.
'Howard has always been a national - in fact, international - school. As transportation eases, it becomes easy to get around the country,' says Benjamin Talton.
This year is different for Howard University, as alumni seek a larger reunion experience that extends their reach across the nation, beyond just regional gatherings.
The 100th homecoming celebration continues the legacy of these early gatherings, emphasizing community and cultural pride, starting with Friday's Yardfest and culminating in a parade.
