A general election presidential debate is being hosted at an HBCU for the first time in history.

Last week, the Commission on Presidential Debates named Virginia State University in Petersburg as one of the universities that will host a presidential debate during the 2024 general election cycle, per NBC News.

“We are honored and grateful to have been chosen as a host for a 2024 Presidential Debate,” VSU President Makola M. Abdullah said in a statement. “This is a historic moment for our university and for HBCUs nationwide.”

The HBCU is set to host the second presidential debate on October 1.
