IN LOVING MEMORY OF THOMAS W. DORTCH, JR.

Thomas W. Dortch Jr. has fought for over 5 decades to create opportunities for the underserved and overlooked communities across the United States and beyond. His contributions to our Historically Black Colleges and Universities, non-profit organizations, and minority businesses are immeasurable, but he would be the first to say that there is so much more work to be done. For his many years of service, he has unselfishly garnered support, contributed financially and dedicated countless hours of his time to so many causes.

KEEPING THE LEGACY ALIVE

“The Hall of Fame is important to me because it is an organization that is dedicated to the highlighting, sustainability, development, and preservation of HBCUs. The Board of Directors sit at a table and invest their time and gifts into ensuring that HBCUs, HBCU students, and HBCU alumni are heard, seen, and protected. That is incredible. ”
