On October 1, Texas Southern University (TSU) will host a unique and entertaining celebration to pay well deserved homage to an extraordinary educator and a gifted vocalist. The inaugural TSU Honors will be an electric evening and unlike any event the University has hosted before.
TSU will present the inaugural Inspiration Award to the legendary Dr. Thomas F. Freeman, Distinguished Professor, Debate Team coach, and Founding Dean of the new TSU Honors College. The first Revelation Award will be presented to Yolanda Adams, TSU alumna, former debater, and GRAMMY Award-winning gospel vocalist.
In a fitting tribute to these two brilliant artists, this performance-packed show will feature a montage of art expressed in word, song, and dance and showcase University, local and national talent, including actor Roger Guenveur Smith. Proceeds will benefit the outstanding TSU Debate Team and the new Honors College.
