The winners of UT's Barbara Jordan Historical Essay Competition, a statewide contest for high school students, will be announced prior to Artis's talk. He was an athlete, Boy Scout, altar boy and a college scholarship recipient. He also was an African American man driving a white car with Carter the night three people were killed by two other African American men driving the same color car. Artis was sentenced to three concurrent life terms at Rahway Prison with the possibility of parole after 15 years. In 1975, with his earliest parole date still five years off, Artis was summoned from his cell and driven to his father's home in Paterson.
