The Wharton Center is expected to bring in thousands of students tonight for MSU’s Black Student Alliance’s 41st annual Black Power Rally.
The Black Student Alliance, or BSA, hosts an annual evening rally with presentations for students to learn about issues often faced in the black community. This year, Georgetown University professor Michael Eric Dyson, a radio host, author, and Detroit native, will be the keynote speaker.
The rally is a free event, with the group looking to celebrate black culture and heritage, said BSA President Tyler Clifford.
This year, the rally will be held in Wharton Center’s Great Hall, which holds 2,400 in the Wharton Center. The move is a result of problems with capacity last year in the 600-seat Pasant Theater.
Clifford said he’s anticipating a large crowd that could potentially fill all of the seats.
