Volma Overton Jr.
Volma Overton Jr. is a third generation Texan, a civil rights activist, and served in the Armed Forces during the Vietnam War. His father was the head of the Central Texas Chapter of the NAACP, and grew up in the Jim Crow South, when African Americans were segregated and subjugated by unjust and racist laws. He played Lions Municipal and the other golf course in Austin in the 50's and beyond and remembers well how difficult it was growing up in those times. 'Lions has earned its place in the history of African American culture, and its place in Civil Rights history.'
