Al Bernstein Emcee for Joe Gans Event…!!!
Hall of Fame broadcaster Al Bernstein, will serve as master of ceremonies Friday, February 26th at an event celebrating the life and legacy of Joe Gans, the first African American world boxing champion.
Al will join other athletes and sports celebrities at the Sports Legends Museum at Camden Yards in Baltimore to raise money to erect a statue of Gans at the Great Blacks Museum. Ticket information can be obtained at www.JoeGans.com or by calling 410-727-1539.
This appearance is one of the activities this year marking Bernstein’s 30th anniversary as a national boxing broadcaster. “I want this year of commemoration for me to be focused on events honoring the people who are most important in the sport—the boxers. They are the ones who sacrifice so much and work so hard to provide excitement in the ring,” Al said. “No one deserves to be recognized more than Joe Gans who battled racial bias and other great fighters to become the first African American champion. It’s a joy to participate in this event,” Al added.
