UNC Student Body President Jasmin Jones has spearheaded the effort to bring back a long forgotten tradition of students parading down Franklin Street before the annual Homecoming football game. This year the event is even more special as Carolina takes on perpetual arch-rivals, the Duke Blue Devils! This year also marks the 50th anniversary of the famous Carolina football victory over Duke - 50 to 0! To read Jasmin's column in the Chapel Hill News about the parade - click here.
