President Obama to Campaign at Norfolk State
Written by HBCU Digest, Posted in Politics, Virginia
President Barack Obama will make a campaign stop at Norfolk State University on Sept. 4. The event is free and open to the public, but attendees must get tickets in advance.

along with designating an HBCU week and meeting with the heads of HBCUs
to strategize on how to keep our schools running and thriving.
So we have always been on his radar.
