HBT, in collaboration with The Mix, will hold a free Trivia Night for the community (Trivia is usually a paid, ticketed affair), generously sponsored by The City of Boston and the Wake Up the Night Grant.

Hella Black Trivia is an event that is more like a game show, with music, dancing, comedy, and team/community-building elements. All crowd members will be actively engaged.

We are excited to invite Black young men from high schools across Boston to participate in the My Brother's Keeper HBCU Forum. This event is designed specifically for high school juniors and seniors and will include interactive workshops, resource tables from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), a panel discussion, and on-site college interviews. HBCU Forum Sign Up
