Henry Harris

Henry Harris broke the color barrier for Auburn Athletics. Harris came to Auburn from Boligee, Alabama, to play basketball in 1968. He starred at Greene County Training School where he was the valedictorian. Harris' legacy at Auburn is that of a trailblazer.  He said he wanted to be the first player of color at Auburn "for the old folks."
