The week was larger than the game

HBCU News's October 13 retrospective describes a homecoming parade and concert, reporting Fetty Wap as the headliner with performances by Loe Shimmy, Nasg Chaz, BabyChiefDoIt, Trim and Flow + Friends. Its reporting places the music and alumni return alongside the football comeback.

President David K. Wilson's October 11 message looks back on coronation and the 42nd Annual Gala. He also identifies that morning's Alumni Memorial Service as the final officially scheduled homecoming event. The close of the week joined celebration with remembrance of Morganites who remain part of the university's story.
