Clarence Hall, one of this year's four Herb Wegner Award recipients, took the state of Mississippi to court to win the right for African Americans to obtain charters and set up not-for-profit organizations.
The legal battle led to the state ruling that Hall could establish a charter for the Mayersville, Mississippi-based Issaquena County Federal Credit Union in 1969.
Hall, who still serves as board chair and CEO of the $1.2 million, 462-member credit union will be honored at the National Credit Union Foundation's annual Herb Wegner Award dinner March 9, 2015.
