In November Wake Forest honored Robert Grant and Kenneth “Butch” Henry at the inaugural Trailblazer Award Ceremony. Bob and Butch were the first Black football student-athletes to enroll at a Division I institution in the South, joining the Wake Forest family in the fall of 1964. Being the first two Black football players at Wake Forest took tremendous courage and the support of teammates, the coaching staff, our University leadership and the Winston-Salem community. They were transformational leaders of character with the fortitude to persevere and blaze trails for future student-athletes of color at Wake Forest.
