Howard University’s (HU) Homecoming is officially over, but like many Homecoming goers, The Root is still recovering from all the spectacular madness and unexpected surprises. This year’s HU Fashion Show was one for the books. With a theme of “The Centennial,” students “drew inspiration from Afrofuturism while paying homage to the University’s legacy as a hub of cultural evolution and innovation,” according to The Dig.
