Rain couldn’t stop a “W” at homecoming // Unfazed by Saturday’s rain, Virginia Union University’s football players, fans, students and alumni put homecoming 2016 in the win column last weekend, with an awesome display of Panther spirit. People tailgated, the band played with gusto and the team rolled over Lincoln University of Pennsylvania 39-6 on a muddy Hovey Field. The 151-year-old university located on Richmond’s North Side celebrated homecoming with a barrage of events that culminated with the game and weekend festivities. Among them: Convocation with author and Georgetown University professor Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, class reunion celebrations honoring the Class of 1966, the Mr. and Miss VUU Coronation Ball and a step show by Greek organizations.
