For the recent 2021 NBA All-Star Game, top players across the NBA joined Team LeBron and Team Durant in Atlanta. This year, the game honored the role of historically Black colleges and universities with each team representing non-profits that support HBCUs — The Thurgood Marshall College Fund and United Negro College Fund.
Along with a court designed by HBCU artists, the referees were all HBCU alumni, including Tony Brown, a Clark Atlanta University graduate. The Clark Atlanta University Philharmonic Society Choir also performed prior to tip-off along with Morehouse College’s Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Alpha Rho Chapter introducing its step team.
