Arthur Broady brings to life the story of his ancestor, John Broddy — an enslaved African American and patriot who served in the Revolutionary War. Mr. Broady was born and raised in southwest Virginia, a hotbed of American Revolution history. He graduated from Emory & Henry University and is recognized as the first African American man to enroll at the university in 1966 as a full-time student and athlete. He was inducted into the university’s Sports Hall of Fame in 2000. A resident of Tri-Cities for more than 40 years, Mr. Broady is an active volunteer in both his community and abroad.
