Carmen Williamson, who in the 1940s and '50s was a top U.S. amateur boxer and then in 1984 became the first black boxing referee and judge at the Olympic Games, has died. He was 94. Williamson died of COVID-19 complications April 8 at a hospital in Toledo, one of his daughters said Thursday. He was three weeks away from receiving his college degree from the University of Toledo -- a pursuit he began nearly 20 years ago, she said. "He loved education, the process, the classes," said Celia Williamson, the youngest of his four surviving daughters. "He sat in the front row and would always arrive early." read more https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_...-boxing-first-black-olympic-judge-dies-age-94
