The city of Mobile, Alabama, will celebrate some of its greatest sports legends on Tuesday, June 24 with the grand opening of the Hall of Fame Walk. The event will honor NFL legend Robert Brazile, a former Jackson State football star and Pro Football Hall of Famer, who proudly represents HBCU excellence.
The Hall of Fame Walk is a permanent landmark located in front of the Mobile Convention Center on the riverwalk. The new site will feature six nine-foot statues honoring sports legends with strong ties to Mobile.
The Hall of Fame Walk will showcase:
- Hank Aaron
- Satchel Paige
- Billy Williams
- Ozzie Smith
- Willie McCovey
- Robert Brazile (HBCU legend from Jackson State)
These athletes are not just Hall of Famers. They are cultural icons who helped shape Mobile’s rich sports history and the legacy of HBCU athletes on the national stage.
The public is invited to attend the official ribbon-cutting ceremony and statue unveiling on Tuesday, June 24, at 1:30 p.m. at the Mobile Convention Center in Alabama. The event will feature speeches from city leaders, family members, and Hall of Fame representatives.
