Also known as the Delta Classic, The Delta Classic 4 Literacy is a college football game held between Historically Black Colleges. It is held annually in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Fitz Hill, created the event, then known as the Literacy Classic while serving as head football coach at San Jose State University. After becoming president of Arkansas Baptist College, Hill restarted the event in Little Rock as The Delta Classic 4 Literacy, with the intent of raising awareness regarding illiteracy in the Delta region [1]. The first game in the Arkansas version of the Delta Classic was played between Grambling State University and the University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff on October 13th, 2007. Grambling State won the contest 30-24 [2].
