This HBCU Fair and Black Business Expo was the best one yet!! Over 50 on-site college admissions and over a hundred thousand dollars in scholarships awarded!! The performances from the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff Band and the Prairie View A&M Chorale were outstanding per usual!!! The pics are great, but don't tell it all!
Thank you to all of our business and food truck vendors and to all of the HBCUs that showed up! Thank you to our line dancing guru, Tawney Coburn for teaching us the latest and greatest line dances. We had to Let 'Em Know!!! To Kevin Henry and Jay Showtime, the dynamic DJ and MC duo, listen, y'all keep the party going!!

Thank you!
Thank you to my Board members of the Historic West Mansfield Texas Community Development Corporation and the amazing committee for what you do year after year to make this program a smashing success and to BBC for providing the venue and resources!!
