Wilberforce versus Tuskegee College Football Program

About the Project

College football game day is an iconic part of American culture. Each team and its fan bases have their own set of traditions and events. This program from a 1944 game between Tuskegee Institute and Wilberforce University is not any different. Filled with photographs and fight songs. The program represents two of the early football powerhouses at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Help us transcribe and get into the game day spirit.

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) were the major producers of elite athletic talent among African Americans through the late 1960s. In addition to developing student-athletes, these programs encouraged the development of unique aspects of African American collegiate culture.
