Do you remember the time Prince performed at Gallaudet? It's true! While in town for his Purple Rain tour, the legendary artist gave a special concert just for the Gallaudet community. Check out the story thread and photographs! #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackPride #gallaudet

Prince gave free performance for over 2,500 students at @GallaudetU plus students with disabilities from surrounding schools.

These were the good old days when pop music were in its heights.

We all miss you, Prince! Thank you for all you do for the world. It serves our memory well. All photos courtesy of Gallaudet University Archives.
