John and Marjorie Hall had progressive social values that set them apart from many in Western Nebraska. As children from the Depression, they were unable to finish college. They raised a daughter, Katherine, who graduated from UNL in 1971 with a degree in Journalism. She went on to earn a Ph.D. from the University of Washington and retired as a journal editor with the UW School of Public Health. She established this endowment to honor her parents and to further social justice in Nebraska.
