The awards will be presented during an invitation-only banquet in Little Rock on Friday, April 13 at the Peabody Hotel in Little Rock.

Silas Hunt Legacy Awards are given to African Americans with Arkansas connections in recognition of their significant achievements or contributions to the community, the state and the nation.

Roderick J. McDavis is president of Ohio University. He was the first African American dean at the University of Arkansas, serving from 1989-1994 as dean of the College of Education and Health Professions. In 2008, McDavis founded The Interlink Alliance, a coalition of Ohio University and Historically Black Colleges and Universities for the purpose of developing and preparing African American students to learn, live and lead in the 21st century.

Christopher Columbus “C.C.” Mercer is one of the “Six Pioneers,” — the first six African American students to enroll at the University of Arkansas School of Law. He graduated from the law school in 1955 and went on to play a pivotal role in the integration of Little Rock Central High School. He recently celebrated his 57th year of practicing law and is known for often representing clients of modest means who otherwise would not have been able to afford a lawyer of his caliber.

Nolan Richardson was the first African American head coach at the University of Arkansas and in the Southwest Conference, but his innovations and achievements on the basketball court are what made him a legend. His style of intense pressure defense and fast-paced offense — what he called “40 Minutes of Hell” — took his Razorback teams to the Final Four three times, winning the National Championship in 1994, the year he was named the National Coach of the Year. Richardson is the only head coach ever to win a Junior College National Championship, the NIT championship, and the NCAA Tournament.

Marjorie Wilkins Williams was one of the first three black students officially admitted as undergraduates at the University of Arkansas in 1955. She received her Bachelor of Science in nursing from the University of Arkansas in 1959. She worked as a general staff and operating-room nurse, served on the School of Nursing faculty at Troy State University, and was professor of nursing for San Antonio College in Texas for 30 years, where she was awarded the Excellence in Nursing Award.
