Honoring the life and legacy of Jack Trice.

HRES 724 is a symbolic House resolution honoring Jack Trice, Iowa State University’s first African-American student-athlete, who died in 1923 after a football game. The resolution commemorates his legacy, including his pioneering role in college athletics and his planned work supporting Black farmers, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of his death. It does not create new laws or policies but formally recognizes his impact through historical context and Iowa State’s existing tributes, such as Jack Trice Stadium and scholarship programs. This resolution expresses collective honor without affecting any individuals or implementing policy changes.
