Jerome Holland was a student, a scholar, a leader and the first African-American All American football player at Cornell University, Class of 1939. He spent a great deal of his time mentoring young men at the Southside Community Center. He went on to become President of Delaware State College and a United States Ambassador, to name a few of his accomplishments. As part of the City of Ithaca Martin Luther King, Jr. Freedom Walkway, we wish to highlight this important part of our history.<o:p></o:p></span></div></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; "><div style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; "> <o:p></o:p></span></div></div><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; "><div style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; ">The Martin Luther King Jr. Freedom Walkway Committee invites you to join us on<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><strong><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; ">Friday, February 15th, at 4pm<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></strong>for an event re-dedicating the Southside Community Center gym in honor of Jerome "Brud" Holland.
