Talladega College will hold a naming ceremony for the Dr. Billy C. Hawkins Student Activity Center at 3 p.m. Friday, Aug. 14.
The new 47,000-square-foot arena will be the first campus facility named in honor of one of the institution’s Black presidents.
In 2008, when Hawkins became the 20th president of Talladega College, the institution was struggling to survive financially.
