Unless you’re in Birmingham, really up on HBCU sports, a big fan of FCS and DII Football (or, more likely, a black college student), you probably didn’t know that every year Birmingham’s Legion Field hosts the largest Historically Black College and University (HBCU) football game in the country, featuring Huntsville’s Alabama A&M and Montgomery’s Alabama State University.
The history of the nation’s HBCUs is fascinating. And, while that lies outside the scope of this countdown project, I do encourage you to check out the HBCU project at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture for more information.
