Slick Vik Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 The park is a nice touch, but it's in such a weird location. Also, I think most people are just totally unaware that jack Johnson is from Galveston, and he's probably the most famous person from that city, if not the entire houston-Galveston region. He was globally known, heavyweight champion of the world was the most famous athlete on earth in those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Vik Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 I guess my thread should've been named why is there such a lack of awareness of jack Johnson, not just in Galveston but in society overall. He was a true trail blazer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
