Margaret Clark became the first black woman professor at the U of A in 1969. She taught in the foreign languages department from 1969-1998. Clark served as the cosponsor for Kappa Iota, the campus chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, and served as sponsor of the African Student Union. In 2019 a residence hall on campus at the Northwest Quad was named in her honor. Though retired, Clark remains active in the Fayetteville community as chair of the Diverse Voices Committee of the Washington County Historical Society.
