MSNBC kicks off the Growing Hope College Tour on Friday, April 25 with a visit to Texas Southern University hosted by Alex Wagner and a stop at Morehouse College hosted by Reverend Al Sharpton on Wednesday, April 30.

"NOW with Alex Wagner" will broadcast live at 3 p.m. CT from Texas Southern's University Plaza and "PoliticsNation" with Reverend Al Sharpton will broadcast live from Morehouse's Century Campus at 6 p.m. ET. MSNBC hosts and contributors will also be onsite for meet and greets with fans from noon to 7 p.m. local time.

Growing Hope is a MSNBC initiative that invites viewers to engage with the brand and share their hopes for change around issues that impact their communities. The "Growing Hope" series will include live events, online activations and special on-air programming. By sharing hopes online, at events, and through social media, the MSNBC audience can grow together as a community with the power to make a difference.

MSNBC kicked off the multi-market "Growing Hope" tour at the 9th annual Jazz in the Garden festival in Miami on March 15-16. The tour continues throughout the year with visits to local festivals across the country this spring and summer. The tour stops will feature unique fan elements including MSNBC host meet and greets and an opportunity to participate in the "Growing Hope" activation. Additional events and programming will be announced in the months ahead.

Viewers can find information about "Growing Hope" online at www.msnbc.com/growinghope. In the coming months, msnbc.com will unveil a digital Hope Tree, allowing users to virtually post a hope, explore hopes of others in their communities, and receive unique content about the issues that matter to them. "Growing Hope" will live on social media with #GrowingHope.
