Atlanta United hosted its annual HBCU Night on Saturday, April 18. There were special appearances from local celebrities and scholarship presentations to local HBCU students.
T.I. was this year’s HBCU Night halftime performer.
Cardi B was in town for the second night of her “Little Miss Drama” tour across the street at State Farm Arena.
What a night.
And then there was soccer.
Fresh off a 3-1 win over Chattanooga FC in the U.S. Open Cup earlier this week, Atlanta United was back home, where they haven’t played very well this season.
The importance of hosting HBCU Night has not been lost on the people within the organization who have called HBCUs home for both their education and their communities long after graduation.
“As a club, celebrating Atlanta means celebrating the institutions that shape its identity, and HBCUs are a cornerstone of that legacy,” said Ivy Scott, Atlanta United Director of Integrated Marketing Operations. Scott is a graduate of Clark Atlanta University.
“They are deeply embedded in the fabric of this city, cultivating generations of leaders, creatives, entrepreneurs, and changemakers who continue to define Atlanta’s influence and impact,” said Scott. “At Atlanta United, we see our role as a reflection of the community we serve, which makes it essential that we honor and uplift the HBCUs in our backyard—not just for their history, but for the future they continue to build.”
