UMAR Muhammad "Sports has a unique way of engaging people in competition, but also cooperation. In today's economic times, not only do communities need

to cooperate, they must also be able to compete."

recreation, high school and intercollegiate athletics.

“...As the chair of Durham's Recreation Advisory Commission, as an advocate for sports facilities and programs for our kids, as a local sports historian, and as the force behind Bull City Legacy, Umar loves to share his passion about what sports can do for our community, and that passion is contagious.”

Steve Schewel, Durham City

“Umar Muhammad shared his sports expertise and passion for the local community with the Museum of

Durham History as a citizen-curator on the exhibit Coach Mac: Integrator and Innovator. The exhibit,

created in large part because of Umar’s vision and enthusiasm, shared the life of groundbreaking

basketball coach John B. McLendon with museum visitors. Through it Durham residents, visitors, and

students have learned about this under-appreciated chapter in Durham’s incredible sports history.”
