Wally Hall, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
As the small library became packed with interested, caring people, it was obvious the announcement was about much more than the second annual Delta Classic.
That Grambling will travel to War Memorial Stadium and take on the Golden Lions of UAPB on Oct. 13 was almost secondary.
Actually, you knew it was important the minute you saw the guy standing quietly in the back of the crowd.
He is one of the most soughtafter celebrities for appearances in Arkansas, but this was something that is obviously special to him.
“Broadway” Joe Booker, Power 92 radio personality, was listening to every word intently.
Dr. Fitz Hill, president of Arkansas Baptist, was explaining that the game is the Delta Classic-4-Literacy.
The slogan is: “The Classic with a Purpose.”
By the time all the information had been delivered, there was no doubt that it is Hill’s mission to raise awareness for literacy and funds to battle illiteracy.
It was a great news conference with lots of dignitaries on hand, including Broadway Joe.
It’ll be a great classic between two outstanding universities for a great cause.
