Summary:Coach and athletic director Donald Edward Hudson was born on November 20, 1929. He received his B.S. degree from Lincoln University in Missouri and his M.Ed. degree from Springfield College in Massachusetts. Hudson first worked at Lincoln University in the 1950s and 1960s where he taught in the health and physical education department and worked as an assistant football coach. In 1968, he became the State of Minnesota's first African American high school head football coach at Central High School in Minneapolis. In 1971, Hudson was appointed head football coach of Macalester College, becoming the first African American head football coach at a predominantly white university in the modern NCAA era.
