The 2023 Toyota HBCU New York Classic (HBCUNY) will host several esteemed cast members from the beloved HBCU-inspired 1980s sitcom “A Different World” and Spike Lee’s iconic film “School Daze” for a panel discussion and a bonus musical performance by pioneering D.C.-based go-go funk band Experience Unlimited, aka “EU,” whose Billboard No. 1 hit, “Da Butt” was featured in Lee’s film at Harlem’s historic Apollo Theater.

Commemorating the 35th anniversary of both “School Daze” and “A Different World,” the panelists will explore the significance behind the title “A Different World” and how it encapsulates the essence of the HBCU experience. They will discuss how HBCU culture has evolved over the years while highlighting areas where change is still needed.

The “HBCU Inspired” panel will be followed by The Great Debate: Rutgers vs. Morehouse College on the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s dismantling of Affirmative Action on Thursday, Sept. 14, 2023, from 7 to 10 PM ET, with doors opening at 6 PM ET. Tickets to the storied event and additional details are available at HBCUNYClassic.com.
