The Mississippi Valley State University Marching Band needs our help. The historically black university is facing the wrath of an online mob because they accepted an invitation to perform at President-elect Trump’s Inauguration parade.
“Accepting an invitation to perform at Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is a disgraceful betrayal of that legacy,” Bishop Talbert Swan wrote on X.
The bishop is a radical leftist with a large social media following.
“It is shameful for the university’s leadership to celebrate this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity’ instead of recognizing it as an affront to the cultural and historical values of an HBCU,” the bishop wrote on X. “This decision not only insults the memory of Dr. King but undermines the very mission of HBCUs to uplift and empower black excellence.”
Lawrence Ware, writing in The Root, said maybe Trump likes “to see Black folks scrambling to do his bidding.”
“There is not a single Black person I know who wants anything to do with the inauguration,” he wrote.

The bishop and the other race hustlers are full of grade-A fertilizer, folks. The HBCUs had no better champion in the White House than Trump.
In 2019 Trump signed a bipartisan bill that permanently provided more than $250 million annually to the nation’s historically black colleges and universities.
Trump did what former President Obama and other Democrat presidents failed to do. And in 2024 Trump won more black voter support than any other Republican in 48 years.
University president Jerryl Briggs saluted the marching band and said it was “not just a moment of pride for our university but for the entire state of Mississippi.”
“It is an opportunity to showcase our legacy, celebrate our culture and invest in the future of our community,” he said.
Kameron Thomas is a member of the marching band and he suggested that folks should keep politics out of their performance. He said the invitation is a “once-in-a-life opportunity.”
“You have to realize that you have to separate the person in office from the level of the office and to get the chance to go is a huge honor,” Thomas told Delta News.
I salute President Trump for extending the invitation and I commend Mississippi Valley State for accepting the invitation. And it’s offensively predictable that a bunch of professional race hustlers would try to sully a beautiful moment in American history. Click here to contribute to the band’s travel fund.
