Prominent black leaders, entertainers and athletes have made stops in San Diego over the years, including Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1964 and Rev. Jesse Jackson in 1984. Pro Boxer Archie Moore was the only man to fight both Rocky Marciano and Muhammad Ali. He was nicknamed "The Mongoose" and was the longest reigning World Light Heavyweight Champion of all time from 1952 to 1962. Moore's organization ABC, or Any Boy Can trained young boxers and made him a President Ronald Reagan Appointee. Moore's home along I-15 was known for its swimming pool shaped like a boxing glove, where he also taught kids how to swim and box. Archie Moore starred in movies like 1960's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and was given the key to the City of San Diego in 1965. For over 34 years, award-winning classical pianist Cecil Lytle was a UC San Diego Provost and Professor of Music and even kept a piano in his office. Judge Earl B. Gilliam, City Councilman Leon Williams, and City Councilman George Stevens were San Diegans who made an impact on our community and the Tuskegee Airmen were World War II fighter pilots who took down more than 400 German aircraft. We honor them in this week’s News 8 Throwback.

Margaret “Midge” Costanza was a political and social activist who turned the primary lady to carry the title of Assistant to the President for Public Liaison for President Jimmy Carter. She was nicknamed “the President’s window to the nation”, consulting with a wide selection of teams. Twenty months into the job she resigned amidst controversy over her relentless combat for the rights of gays, seniors, and ladies. In 1992, she ran Barbara Boxer’s profitable marketing campaign for U.S. Senator. In 1994, when News 8’s Maria Velasquez profiled her for Women’s History Month, Costanza was operating her personal political and communications agency in San Diego. In 2004, she turned a professor at San Diego State University and was working with the Political Science and Women’s Studies departments of SDSU and the Political Science division of the University of California, San Diego to develop the Midge Costanza Institute. The Institute is principally geared toward inspiring younger folks to develop into lively in political and social causes.

On the first Saturday of every August, everybody who is anybody attends the St. Jermone Parish Picnic in Fancy Farm. The year was 1979. WHAS reporter Jeffery Hutter explored the back story of the famous picnic, finding it wasn't politics that brought it to life. "A political affair – that’s the image you have about the Fancy Farm picnic, if you've never been here before. Relying on news reports," he said. "But for the people who've lived around these parts for a long time, family fun is the best part about this day." Fellowship, food, activities for all ages, that's how this picnic started – a simple parish fundraiser. What began as a humble church picnic has grown into a major political event after politicians started adding it to the campaign trail. Any aspiring politician knew they had to make an appearance. In the late 1970s, the focus was on the governor's race between former Governor Louie Nunn and businessman John Y. Brown. A large crowd came together with many of the attendees bussed in by the candidates. At the time politics was different in Kentucky and the Republicans outnumbered on the podium by Democratic office holders. Nunn went criticized president Jimmy Carter and Brown responded by calling Nunn's approach old style politics. John Y. Brown would go on to win that election. Five years later in 1984, it was just the beginning for a young Mitch McConnell. At the time he was a Jefferson County judge executive but had his sights set on a seat in the Senate. McConnell made his appearance at Fancy Farm with a goal to convince crowds it was time to change the Kentucky's political environment and he wanted to beat Democratic Incumbent Walter Huddleston. "I tell you it's going to be a lot of hot air coming from that platform up there shortly you better get ready and I’m going to supply my portion of it," he said. During that era, the first district of western Kentucky was almost exclusively Democratic. Huddleston was confident he would win re-election. "I don't have any fear at all about that either here or other places in the state as far as my race is concerned, I think we're in a very strong position," he said. As you know, this one was an upset in favor of McConnell and the beginning of his storied career in the US Senate. "I haven't found a liberal yet and I’ve been talking to everybody in the crowd. And some of these people with “D” stickers on got it put on and didn't even know it. I think this is going to be a friendly crowd," he said. Regardless of political party the real winners are the people of St. Jerome's Catholic Church. Their hard work and dedication making the event a success year after year.
