From The Wrap
The cast of “A Different World” will reunite after 35 years to head out on a 10-city reunion tour that will take them to historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) across the nation.
It all starts on Feb. 29 in the country’s Black mecca, Atlanta, Georgia — a city known for its predominately Black population and vibrant culture. It’s also home to four of the most prominent institutions, which include Clark Atlanta University, Spelman College, Morehouse College and Morehouse School of Medicine. The campuses make up the Atlanta University Center, which is the cast’s first tour stop.
The cast members set to take part in the tour are Kadeem Hardison, who played Dwayne Cleofis Wayne; Darryl M. Bell, who played Ron Johnson; Charnele Brow, who played Kimberly Reese; Jasmine Guy, who played Whitley Marion Gilbert-Wayne; Glynn Turman, who played Colonel Bradford Taylor and Sinbad, who played Walter Oakes. The cast will be joined by “A Different World” producers Sunsan Fales and Debbie Allen.

Dawn Lewis and Cree Summer are too busy making that voiceover money to be bothered.
I think these HBCUs have been struggling for a minute and are pulling out the stops to increase enrollment. They've had two of these events in L.A. and a riot broke out at one.
I went to one of the Atlanta University schools and I have a real love/hate relationship with that place. HBCUs always scream about needing money, but let's have an honest discussion about how most of them exploit their students. It's all nepotism and ego, while seriously overcharging and under delivering. I told my son that if he goes to my old school, I'm not giving him a dime towards his education.
I went to WSSU for freshman year. Best college experience ever. Nothing like a HBCU.
Why now.
I think it would make more sense for them to do high school tours. The scholars at the HBCU's have already committed to higher education and particularly an HBCU. They need to get to the scholars before the college application process.
