ORLANDO, Fla. – Orange and green and maroon and gold cover the streets of Parramore as Classic Weekend gets underway in Orlando.

Former B-CU football player Zurze Gordon calls it more than a game.

“It’s not a football game. You look at it like a football game, but it’s not really a football game. It’s like a family reunion or a big cookout,” Gordon said.

For FAMU College of Law student Aaron Lucas, the generations of families who come for the experience also enjoy the unity.

“I always came here as a kid. I think that’s something a lot of the Black community in Florida does. Whether you went to FAMU or you went to Bethune, you just come here and it’s like a big picnic,” Lucas said.
