2026 Black History Maker of Alabama – Jacob Orr
Black History means excellence, culture, perseverance, a celebration of the resilience of our ancestors. It’s a time to honor the past and look forward to the future. We have to recognize the contributions, culture, and leadership that have shaped our world, often without credit, and using those lessons to push for equity, understanding, and progress today. - Jacob Orr
Orr began his career in broadcast production working with Crimson Tide Productions, the multimedia component of the University of Alabama Athletic Department. He assisted with the execution of live broadcasts and video board productions for a multitude of events, and the creative shooting team.
