Sports Hall of Fame to Hold Induction Ceremony in Oakland
Unity First
Tom Flores, the former Oakland Raiders head coach and star quarterback, will join five other standouts that will be inducted into the African- American Ethnic Sports Hall of Fame on September 12 in Oakland, California.

Flores is one of only two people in NFL history who have earned Super Bowl rings as a player, assistant coach and head coach. After quarterbacking the Raiders for six seasons in the 1960s, he coached them to victories in Super Bowl XV and XVII.

Flores will be inducted (and become the second Hispanic) into the AAESHOF at a ceremony held at the Waterfront Plaza Hotel in Jack London Square from 6-10 p.m. Former NFL players George Atkinson from the Raiders and Bubba Paris from the 49ers also will be inducted, along with track and field standout Ray Norton, basketball's Brian Shaw (a former Bishop O'Dowd High School star who helped the Los Angeles Lakers win three NBA titles) and, posthumously, Bay Area sports journalist Sam Skinner.

The Hall will also honor coach Fitz Hill, San Jose State University, Theo Jackson, Oakland Convention Bureau, Pamela Wimberly (basketball coach), Don Johnson (tennis) and Roland Williams, Oakland Raider tight end. "We are proud to honor these outstanding sport figures and community leaders to emphasize to our youth that champions are born out of hard effort and perseverance," said Arif Khatib, Founder and President of AAESHOF.
