Jimmy Raye of Fayetteville and Michigan State named to NC Sports Hall of Fame - Tom Shanahan Report

The state of North Carolina has a remarkable story advancing college football integration. Raye is a primary figure. Another is Bob Grant, who planned
to ride the Underground Railroad with Duffy Daugherty until Wake Forest decided to desegregate. Grant's coach convinced him to attend Wake Forest
to open doors for future Black athletes. MSU's Tyrone Willingham of Jacksonville, N.C is another story worthy of NC Hall of Fame.
