This video captures a banquet celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Upward Bound program at Austin’s Huston-Tillotson University on December 12, 1990. After an opening prayer and a welcome speech, a gospel choir ensemble performs. An Upward Bound coordinator then overviews the history of the program, speaking specifically about how the Civil Rights Movement pushed for more representation of disadvantaged high school students on college campuses. Upward Bound was created by the 1964 Economic Opportunity Act to provide support for high school students preparing for college.
