NPHC Step Show

I worked the NPHC step/comedy show last night. I helped sell tickets at the will call booth and directed traffic. I arrived at 7:15pm and then watched the show at 8:30. Phi Beta Sigma, Zeta Phi Beta, Omega Phi Psi, and Alpha Phi Alpha performed last night. They were INCREDIBLE and so talented. The comedian DC Youngflyy began to perform as the judges deliberated. Unfortunately, no one knows who won due to a shooting threat. Everyone who came had to be evacuated from the mini dome! 6/25 hours completed.

They had species from all over South America. It was a majestic sight. One of their special exhibits was a social justice movement  titled "RACE". It gave historical information about how race developed as a political movement, as well as the science behind skin color. My favorite e
