Ford came to Atlanta to stomp the yard. They joined Morehouse College and Spelman College for their annual SpelHouse homecoming activities to provide a fun-filled weekend to both current students and alumni.
Ford presented the first-ever “Ford Ultimate Homecoming Takeover” as part of the Ford HBCU Drive2Greatness program to support STEAM initiatives. Ford HBCU Drive2Greatness program kicked off in early September and has challenged HBCU students, alumni and supporters to “Rep Your HBCU” on social media in hopes of winning one of four HBCU STEAM donations for their favorite school.
In addition to a fashion show, empowerment panel, a DJ battle, tailgate party and more, over the course of the week, homecoming attendees will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with the all-new 2018 Expedition and 2018 Mustang.
Here’s a sampling of the first three days.
