Players and Coaches from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have played a significant role in the history of college football.
Black College football and NFL quarterback pioneers Pro Bowl MVP James "Shack" Harris and Super Bowl MVP Doug Williams have personally made this journey and remain committed to preserving the HBCU legacy. It is this promise that inspired them to establish the Black College Football Hall of Fame. The City of Atlanta, with its central proximity to more than half of the nation™s HBCUs, was selected as the perfect home for the Hall of Fame.
Shack and Doug next turned to the task of establishing a prestigious selection committee, with a special understanding and knowledge of the many great HBCU players and coaches. Numerous prominent journalists and football executives enthusiastically joined the Committee, which determines the Hall of Fame selection criteria, reviews nominations and chooses inductees.
