Memphis: Protect The 901 GOTV Kickoff
Each September, the Southern Heritage Classic transforms Memphis into one of the nation’s largest HBCU homecoming celebrations, drawing tens of thousands of alumni, students, families, and fans from across the Mid-South for a weekend where culture, competition, and community take center stage. This year, keep the energy going after the final whistle and PROTECT THE 901 at “901 is Home: A Party With a Purpose” as we create Power After the Classic. This is Where HBCU Pride Meets People Power—a free post-game celebration on Saturday, September 12, from 9:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. at the Alpha Memphis Education Foundation. Hosted by Memphis for All, the Alpha Memphis Education Foundation, and the Greater Memphis Alumni Chapters of Alcorn State University and the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, this is where HBCU excellence, great music, fellowship, and Memphis culture come together under one roof.
More than an after-party, Power After the Classic is a fresh take on what community celebration can look like—bringing together HBCU alumni, professionals, business leaders, and neighbors in a fun, welcoming, and strictly nonpartisan environment that also makes civic engagement easy and accessible. Tennessee residents can simply verify their voter registration or learn their voting district upon entry, while out-of-state guests are admitted free with no verification required. Whether you’re reconnecting with classmates, expanding your network, or just looking for the place everyone will be after the game, this is where HBCU pride meets people power—and where a new Southern Heritage Classic tradition begins.
People's Hearing On Corporate Greed

Rep. Aftyn Behn and Sen. Charlane Oliver will lead a conversation with experts on the tactics corporations use to skip out on their responsibility to fund the services they rely on for their profits and that all of our communities need.Tennesseans from around the state will talk about how the regressive sales and grocery taxes make life harder for families while big corporations get a free ride.Join us to learn how we can make Tennessee a place that works for everyone, not just a wealthy few.Link
