African Student Association hosted its annual event called African Extravaganza for Black History Month Friday. Over a hundred piled in the Hughes-Trigg student theater for this fashion, dance and talent show that featured six performances from students from UTA, UTD, UNT, TWU and TCU.
"It's a package of all of Africa in one building." said a student on stage during the show. Mariam Meme, a member of African Student Association at SMU, said the goal of African Extravaganza is to bring knowledge about the African culture.
"Africa is seen as one country, but there are many cultures," said Meme. She said she thought collaborating with other schools for African Extravaganza shows the variety of the African continent that contains many countries populated by many cultures.
SMU Junior Justin Morales had a different reason for attending African Extravaganza.
"I seen all these females and I had to come," said Morales.
In between acts, students enjoyed jokes and the latest hip hop and African music with impromptu dance performances from audience members.
