A Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer, Wayne Embry – a Miami University basketball legend who grew up on a farm outside of Springfield and graduated from Tecumseh High, became an NBA All-Star center and an NBA front office pioneer who was the league’s first African American general manager and team president and now, as a Toronto Raptors advisor, is in his 63rd season of involvement with the league – sits beneath his No, 23 jersey which Miami retired and now hangs in the rafters of Millett Hall. On May 18th, in Oxford, he and his late wife Terri, who was from Dayton, will be given the prestigious Freedom Summer of ‘64 award for their lifelong commitment to civil rights and social justice. That same day a statue of Embry shooting his legendary hook shot will be unveiled in front of Millett Hall and a scholarship in Embry’s name will be announced. Jeff Sabo/Miami University
