The 64th McNeill Family Reunion is an honor for the Bridges Family to organize and host. For
64 remarkable years, our family has sustained this beautiful tradition, keeping our bonds strong
and our legacy alive across generations. What began in 1962 continues today as a testament to
the strength, resilience, and unity of the McNeill family.
This year, we gather in the historic city of Greensboro, North Carolina—a place rich with
African American history and educational excellence. Greensboro is home to distinguished
HBCUs including North Carolina A&T State University, the largest HBCU in the nation, and
Bennett College, a historic women's college. This city stands as a beacon of the Civil Rights
Movement and has nurtured generations of Black scholars, leaders, and changemakers. It is
fitting that our family reunion takes place in a community that mirrors our own values of
education, perseverance, and progress.
