Angion said the school is hosting a “Day of Unity” celebration on campus November 2nd.

He said the event will feature — marching bands — dance squads — a radio-thon — and food and fun for the entire family.

“We are inviting everyone to please come out and help us because Selma University is a community school and we’ve been that way for 141 years,” said Angion.
