William Franklin Williams, 1998 Living Legacy Award Recipient
We are praying for the Williams family. William Franklin Williams passed on December 10, 2013. He was a pioneer in his own right and the husband of a pioneer as well. His wife, Mrs. Marjorie Wilkins Williams, was one of the first African Americans to attend the University of Arkansas as an undergraduate when she, Mrs. Billie Rose Whitfield Jacobs, and Mrs. Maxine Sutton Cannon enrolled in the Nursing program in 1955.
After receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in math and secondary education from Philander Smith College, Williams entered the University of Arkansas in the fall of 1955 to pursue a Masters of Business Administration. He began his career in the computer field in 1953 by teaching computer science for the Air Force while employed by the U.S. Army. In 1964, he worked with a small group in developing a computer training program for the Air Force. He later worked for Burroughs (now UNISYS) and at Gunter Air Force Base teaching base level computers, again for the Air Force.
His career took him to Kelly Air Force Base, then back to Randolph Air Force Base managing a small group developing computer training programs for pilots, navigators and record keeping. He was recognized in 1998 with the Living Legacy Award by the University of Arkansas Black Alumni Society at a banquet recognizing the 50th anniversary of Silas Hunt entering the University of Arkansas (first African American to enroll and attend the U of A in the 20th century).
William Franklin Williams and Mrs. Williams are the parents of two and grandparents as well. Please add the Williams family to your prayers.
