‘Celebration Of Blackness': Orange Blossom Classic This Weekend At Hard Rock Stadium

CBS Miami

September 3, 2021

This weekend’s Orange Blossom Classic is more than just a football game for many alumni and students in historically Black colleges. It’s a family reunion.

After a 43 year absence, the celebrations surrounding football between historically Black schools are being revitalized around Sunday’s game between Florida A&M University and Jackson State at the Hard Rock Stadium.

There will be concerts, a parade, a job fair, pool parties, cookouts galore, spades games in the parking lot and a battle of the school bands. The weekend festivities also provide opportunities to raise money for the historically Black schools.
