Energized by my fellow classmates who started RARE. Open discussions are a necessary foundation for promoting racial equity. Recognizing students who contribute toward creating a climate of racial equity is a fitting tribute to James Davis.

I was looking at my 1971 Annual for what James had to say.
What stuck out to me was what he put down as his passions:
1) People…he genuinely cared!
2) Football…his sports passion
3) Roughriders…Serving others!
He was a leader when he was 18!!!
James was genuine… he delivered results…he was a team player…he built relationships ( even 50 years later)…he was courageous…a great communicator and he inspired som many…to this day.
He was part of a class I always looked up to. He was accepting of me and now has motivated me from the grave to support those who emulate his character!!
He was RARE…and so can we all be‼️

Our class had the 1st group of volunteer black kids bused to Roosevelt. "Why do they sit together at lunch?" I sat with them when I could; and realized how little I knew about their experiences in a majority white country. Empathy is such a key ingredient to make this country live up to our claims of fairness and equity. RARE is working in that direction.
Randy (Randolph) Carter was a bused student, and I admired his bravery.

My parents were well pleased my sister (‘71), my brother (‘76), and I would be attending integrated schools. For us, it started at John Marshall. We just didn’t really know how to make the best use of what we were seeing and learning.
It made a huge impact on me. As mentioned, I thought racism was only in the South, back then, as my parents had friends of all races. I had a long way to go.
It’s these brilliant youth who will take our feeble efforts and bring us forward with great strides. They know about things we didn't and have language for things we didn’t, and they have the will. Youth can move the world.

James A. Davis Jr. was a remarkable individual. He was my Business partner (as kids), Classmate, Fraternity Brother (Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc.), the Best Man at my wedding and my son's Godfather, but most importantly he was a fantastic person and my best friend.
This scholarship will help to keep his memory and what he represented alive.
We all need to support RARE and the James A. Davis Memorial Scholarship.

Brother Davis is my fraternity brother in the greatest fraternity in the world, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. He and I use to play racquetball every week day morning at 6 a.m.. We did this for at least a year. We always had a blast when we were together whether we were on the racquetball court, fraternity meeting, political meeting and at church. I miss him dearly.
