Field at Grady Stadium named in honor of principal

The field at Atlanta's Grady High School Stadium was named Monday the Eddie S. Henderson, Sr. Athletic Field at Grady Stadium. The school board voted to honor Henderson, who was a principal born in Atlanta. He graduated from Morris Brown College in 1972 with a bachelor's in physical education and was the first African American in Georgia to complete the requirements of a certified athletic director. Henderson dedicated more than three decades to public education and public service.
