Homecoming celebrations blend Tuskegee's rich military heritage

Homecoming celebrations blend Tuskegee's rich military heritage

In a dramatic and graceful start to this year’s homecoming game at Tuskegee University, the latest alumnus to become a general received the game ball from the Silver Wings Aerial Demonstration Team from Fort Benning in Georgia. The ecstatic crowd in Cleve Abbott Memorial Stadium repeatedly shouted “U.S.A.” as the last member of the parachute team floated down on the field to deliver the ball to Brig. Gen. Mark A. Brown and Tuskegee president, Gilbert L. Rochon, on Saturday, Oct. 20. The Golden Tigers went on to obliterate the efforts of the Kentucky State University Thorobreds in a 37-0 blowout.
 
Brown had not been back to Tuskegee for about 10 years and said his return to campus was “inspirational.” He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in accounting in 1986 and was also commissioned through the Air Force ROTC program.
