“It is with great sadness we learn Dr. Archie Wade has passed away. Dr. Wade was a shining light for all of Tuscaloosa, especially the West End community. He lived his life as a trailblazer in Tuscaloosa from being a multi-sport athlete and coach at Stillman College, to integrating Bryant-Denny Stadium as a fan, and then becoming the University of Alabama’s first Black faculty member and a dedicated educator for the University. A polished athlete, Archie Wade shined the most on the baseball diamond, becoming Stillman’s first player to be drafted by Major League Baseball and playing in the St. Louis Cardinals organization before returning to Stillman to coach basketball and baseball. Recently, Dr. Wade was selected unanimously for induction into the Stillman College Athletics Hall of Fame, in which he will be inducted posthumously on Feb. 7 this year. On behalf of Stillman College Athletics, we extend our condolences and prayers to the Wade family.”

- Terrance Whittle, Stillman College Director of Athletics & Head Baseball Coach
