Urban One ONE Yard HBCU experience tour

Overview

Urban One announced the launch of ‘ONE Yard: The HBCU Experience’, a multi-city engagement tour intended to celebrate the culture and legacy of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The initiative aims to transition from a digital platform to live, on-campus events to address ‘algorithm fatigue’ among Gen Z audiences through physical community spaces.

The tour commenced at Bowie State University, attracting approximately 400 students, alumni, and staff. The event featured live music, food trucks, and interactive activities such as yoga. In addition to entertainment, the program functioned as a networking space where students presented businesses and received mentorship from panelists, while alumni provided professional and financial guidance. The tour was scheduled to conclude at Clark Atlanta University on September 2.
