| Visual Eye Media Sponsors Black College Football Hall of Fame |
|
On Saturday February 20, 2010, Super Bowl MVP Doug Williams, Pro Bowl MVP James Harris and several other notables like Jon Gruden, Arthur Blank and Ambassador Andrew Young will gather in Atlanta, Georgia, for the inaugural enshrinement ceremony for the Black College Football Hall of Fame. Organizers say the event coincides with Black History Month and more than 26 businesses and 15 NFL Franchises joined in the effort to make the event happen.
The enshrinement is a well deserved honor for the inductees and will provide a history lesson for those who may not be familiar with names such at Big Ben Stevenson (Tuskegee University), Paul Tank Younger (Grambling State Univ.) and Alonzo Jake Gaither (Florida A&M). Some well known names like Jerry Rice (Mississippi Valley State Univ.), Deacon Jones (S.C. State Univ. & Mississippi Valley State Univ.) and Coach Eddie Robinson (Grambling State Univ.) are also being enshrined.
"It has been both an honor to be involved with this historic event, and a wonderful learning experience," says Amani Channel of Visual Eye Media. "All of the inductees were remarkable leaders on the field and outstanding role models that we can all look up to."
Channel's company is one of the Platinum Sponsors. Visual Eye Media donated production services for the ceremony, which included creating a biographical video for each of the eleven inductees.
