The weekend may have started out cold and rainy, but the skies gave way to sun and fun during a festive Homecoming 2008 weekend. Miss Maroon and White, Joi Jackson and her attendants Isata Yansaneh and April Curry, were coronated in a colorful student production. Hip-hop superstar Young Jeezy and neo-soul stalwart Dwele each performed before hundreds and Atlantans lined the streets around campus for the annual Saturday morning Homecoming parade. Thousands of tailgaters–and the scent of their barbecue and other goodies–filled the Spelman parking lot and areas throughout the Morehouse campus. And a huge crowd packed B.T. Harvey Stadium as the Fighting Maroon Tigers grabbed a thrilling, come-from-behind victory over the Albany State Golden Rams. Here is a pictorial look at the weekend that was Homecoming 2008.
