March Madness at Stillman

Join us as we celebrate Women's History Month and experience the electric atmosphere of March Madness at an HBCU championship game hosted at Stillman College in Tuscaloosa. We spotlight the trailblazing women who've shaped Alabama's civic landscape while catching all the action courtside as HBCUs compete for conference glory. From the legacy of women organizers who fought for voting rights in the Black Belt to the rising stars on the court today. Hear from students, and local leaders about what representation means in sports and civic life, why HBCUs remain vital institutions for Black excellence, and how March Madness brings our communities together. Whether you're here for the history, the hoops, or both—this is Alabama's story, told from the Souf.
