 As President of the University of Alabama, I am honored that you've joined us today for this historic occasion, the naming of Wade Hall in honor of Dr. Archie Wade. This well-deserved honor serves as a tribute to Dr. Wade's legendary career and I know that this building will be a source of inspiration for many, many students in years to come. As President of the University of Alabama, we certainly value tradition, we value history, but we also value progress and it's a great day when history and progress meet and today is one of those days. On September 17th, with overwhelming support from the entire faculty in the Department of Kineology, the Board of Trustees voted to rename this building in honor of Dr. Archie Wade, a leader who transformed the university and impacted countless lives. Dr. Wade became the first African American faculty member here at the University of Alabama. This took a special person, a person brave enough to take the huge first step. That first step paved the way for the integration of minority faculty members across our system. Dr. Wade, thank you for your contribution. Thank you for being here and thank you for giving all that you've given to folks like me and everybody else standing here. I've been at first in a lot of things. Somebody else is following you and there's nobody else before you. It was a decision that I made to come because I thought it might help to break the barriers that we have in terms of social and legal barriers, but my faith helped me to deal with that. It always had. It was a challenge to come, but I look at challenge as an opportunity, as an opportunity for me to do what I needed to do to further the cause. I want to thank everybody who had anything to do with this event and this day of current. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Take care of yourself and stay safe and thank you.
