There is something familiar with Jack Johnson’s postings. How may recall a bigot named Ira Gershwin who frequently posted similar taunts? Familiar enough they read like the postings of Ira Gershwin. Mr. Gershwin has been silent for a couple years. Could it be that Mr. Gershwin’s access to the internet was, how should I say this and be politically correct, restricted due to State imposed prohibitions to the internet. Now free to express himself he uses a new moniker that of Jack Johnson. Could he have chosen Jack Johnson to pay homage to the late John Arthur ‘Jack’ Johnson a professional boxer back 100 years ago, whom like Ira had a troubled past?
Just a thought.
Jack Johnson, the former heavyweight boxing champion and member of the World Boxing Hall of Fame, had a connection to Henderson. On June 10, 1946, he passed through Henderson on US-1 and stopped outside Franklinton to eat. After being refused service, he angrily left and was involved in an automobile accident just outside Franklinton. He was transported by ambulance to Saint Agnes Hospital in Raleigh where he died that day. Numerous books have been written about Johnson and several movies and plays on Broadway are part of his lore.
Rumor has it that he had been dating a woman in Henderson, but I have never been able to confirm this.
