The Jawn: Philly Soul – The Sound of Independence Honoring Cheyney - Highlighting Cheyney University
It’s time to close out a decade of culture, connection, and pure Black excellence! 🥂 We are bringing the 10th anniversary of HBCU Week on the Vineyard to an epic close by going back to where it all began.
Get ready for the Grand Finale as we honor the original, the first, the foundation: Cheyney University of Pennsylvania. 🐺 Established in 1837, Cheyney holds the distinction of being the oldest HBCU in America. We’re acknowledging the Wolves for their legendary role in starting the history of Black higher education, and we’re doing it with that unmistakable Philly flare!
🔥 The Grand Finale: Philly Soul – The Sound of Independence
Prepare for a night of timeless grooves, soulful melodies, and the defining sounds of Philadelphia. We’re celebrating with a lineup that only a decade of Legacy Week could deliver:
Boyz II Men: Bringing the harmonies that defined an era.
Jill Scott: Filling the night with neo-soul magic.
The Roots: Dropping the legendary live instrumentation.
Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince: Providing the absolute required summer time energy.
Eve: Closing out with that classic Philly grit and flow.
We’re also dropping the needle on Philly Soul Classics from legends like The O'Jays, Harold Melvin, and Teddy Pendergrass, along with anthems from Schooly D, Cassidy, and Meek Mill.
This is it—the ultimate Vineyard takeover. Let’s make history (again)! 🎓🔊
