Urban League of Central Carolinas invites you all to please join us at the National Dr. Charles L. Sifford Naming Ceremony and Ribbon Cutting. September 10, 2015 6:30-9pm SkyLine Terrace 1601 West Trade Street, Charlotte North Carolina 28216 
After a decade of attempting to break through racial barriers, Sifford, a native Charlottean, was the first African American to join the PGA Tour in 1961. During his career he had 22 professional wins. In 2004, Sifford became the first African American inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Obama in 2014. Tiger Woods referred to Sifford as "the Grandpa I never had," and without Sifford, "I probably wouldn't be here. My dad would have never have picked up the game. Who knows if the clause would still exist or not? But he broke it down".
