Today's Riddle

Day 60

Live

Magic City Classic Special

  1. This is not a person — this is an event. The biggest HBCU classic in the entire country takes place right here in Birmingham.
  2. Nearly 200,000 people gather at Legion Field annually for the game, the tailgate, the bands, and the culture.
  3. One side shouts 'Bulldogs!' The other shouts 'Hornets!' — but both sides agree: there is no classic like the Magic City Classic.

The Culture

Every Legend Has a Story Before the Legend.

Before the Grammy. Before the Senate seat. Before the championship ring. There was an HBCU campus where they first believed it was possible.

Guess My HBCU is a daily tribute to 60 legends who shaped the culture — in music, civil rights, sports, science, and beyond. How well do you know where they came from?
