Jan. 01, 1966 - Henry Armstrong In London. Arriving in London, was the Rev. Henry Jackson - a small, plump greyish minister of the Baptist Church. he was born 53 years ago in St. Louis. He went to High School, graduated, intended to become a doctor and didn't, because of depression. Instead he got a job. Then one day, someone had thrown away a newspaper, and as there was currently a storm the pages flew about more than somewhat. Suddenly the storm stopped. He looked up and a section of the paper floated to his feet. It was the sports section carrying a report that Kid Chocolate had got a 75, 000-dollar purse for half-an;hour fight at the Polo Grounds. So young Henry Jackson decided to take up the fight game, and under the name of Henry Armstrong, he became holder of three world titles simultaneously - the featherweight, lightweight, and welter-weight. He is in London to be honoured by the Anglo-American Sporting Club. Photo Shows:- Henry Jackson - pictured in London, taking a look at London from his hotel.
