For a decade, HBCU SpringComing has been more than an event—it’s been a movement. 

Now, in The Road to TENure, co-founders George A. Peters II and Lauren Grove open the vault on 10 years of footage, revealing the bold fight to preserve and grow this cultural celebration across three cities. Through the voices of city leaders, alumni, and scholarship recipients, this documentary sheds light on the impact of HBCU SpringComing and the deeper conversation it sparks.

Post screening, join a talk back with leaders in the Portland HBCU community.

...and then we toast! A brunch inspired "Kickback" in true HBCU SpringComing fashion immediately after with light bites and cocktails.
