Curated for the HBCU & NPHC Community
Each itinerary is intentionally designed as a private group experience for the HBCU community and NPHC affiliates. Package options accommodate solo travelers, families, and larger groups or chapters. Details on pricing, deposits, and daily itineraries are available on the main tour page.
Why It Matters
These tours serve as more than travel—they offer a meaningful opportunity to honor the spirit of Juneteenth by celebrating freedom, lineage, and cultural discovery.
By centering African heritage and the collective experience of the Divine Nine, HBCU alumni, students, and families, the journeys foster education, community building, and a deeper understanding of the global Black experience. They create intentional space for reflection, pride, and reconnection with the ancestral stories that continue to shape generations.
