Iowa Black Alumni Association Founded in 1963, Iowa Black Alumni Association promotes the general mission & purposes of the University of Iowa.

The Hall of Honor and the Scholarship Fund are two major projects supported by The University of Iowa. A group of Iowa alumni & friends first gathered at an informal picnic in 1963 at the Rockford, Illinois home of the late McKinley "Deacon" Davis. The socializing, renewing of friendships and the reliving of the "good ole" school days at the University of Iowa during the early 50's was so meaningful & enjoyable that the group agreed to organize on a more formal basis & become the Iowa Black Alumni Association(IBAA).

Today is a great day!!! Hope to see you there if you are in Iowa City!!!

I’m looking forward to this today.. to hear her story and to give thanks for the sacrifice she gave as a little girl that I and future other little black girls and boys could sit in the room and have access to a fair education table and at most times feel welcome and given the opportunity to learn in an system that was slated to BE fair .. #.ulc
