The University of Arkansas is having a moment. Buoyed by success across all sports, there’s something special brewing in Fayetteville. And U of A chancellor Dr. Charles Robinson knows it. Robinson is the first African American chancellor in the university’s history. He understands how the Razorbacks impact so many. After all, he grew up admiring Nolan Richardson’s Arkansas teams. Given his background as a professor researching southern history and race relations, Robinson knows how much progress has been in that area since Richardson roamed the sidelines, but also that there’s still work to be done.
