What is The South Hill Classic? It's where Black Studies meets Sports! And we define sports broadly. From traditional sports to digital gaming and streaming cultures! 

What is South Hill? South Hill is a history district in Lexington, KY. This district consists of many homes that were once owned by free African Americans at a time when slavery was still an institution in Kentucky. Prosperous whites lived alongside prosperous African Americans with many middle class citizens also living in the district (https://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/lexington/shi.htm).
