Attend a screening of "The Hidden Sport", a project worked on by Klein College master of journalism student Ashley Lovelace.
Lovelace and her team worked for over five months to produce a documentary about Southern University’s “Human Jukebox” Marching Band. “The Hidden Sport” explores the concept of marching band as a sport and the physical, mental and emotional work involved.
Lovelace and her classmates won the 2025 Coca-Cola HBCU Grant at the 46th Annual Sports Emmys. The group flew out to New York and was presented with an award, including the $40,000 grant. Lovelace and her classmates decided at the beginning that if they won the grant, they would give a portion of $40,000 award to Southern University’s Department of Mass Communications and the Human Jukebox Marching Band, whose impact played a vital role in the documentary. This gesture was the first time that recipients donated some of the awarded money to the university.
