He was the son of former slaves, but he was destined for so much more. His family knew there was something special about him, and his untimely, racially-motivated death in 1923 would mean something for the honor of his race, family, and self. The country would know his name and he would never be forgotten... Jack Trice.

​

Over the years at Iowa State University, things would change, but his name and legacy only grew stronger. A statue was erected, a field named in his honor, and ultimately an entire Division 1 football stadium would be named in his honor  - the only such stadium in Div. 1 college football to be named after an African American. 

 

It's your chance to help students do big things and fulfill Jack's, as well as their own legacies.

I WILL help...
