Murray State will honor Dennis Jackson, the first Black student-athlete at the University by naming the Dennis Jackson Racer Room in his honor.
The celebration will take place at 12:30 p.m., March 21 in the newly dedicated room. The event is estimated to finish just before Racer football hosts Tennessee State at 2 p.m. in Stewart Stadium and will be streamed live.
Murray State President Bob Jackson expressed his excitement for the ceremony honoring Dennis Jackson.
“We are very pleased to honor Mr. Dennis Jackson with the naming of the Racer Room,” Bob Jackson said. “Dennis is one of the all-time greats and it is only fitting to name this part of the Stewart Stadium in order to recognize his many achievements and lifetime of service to Murray State University.”
