2024 HBCU Tour

Last year’s DTLR HBCU Tour was a powerful celebration of culture, community, and connection. Traveling to multiple Historically Black Colleges and Universities, the tour brought high-energy events, exclusive giveaways, and surprise artist performances directly to campus. From live music and panel discussions to fashion pop-ups and brand activations, DTLR showed up in a big way—amplifying student voices and shining a light on the legacy and future of HBCUs.
