This article was originally published in the San Marcos Record newspaper on Thursday, August 12, 1965 as the city of San Marcos honored then NBA Star Lucious Jackson with a proclamation and a barbecue. Jackson is one of 73 people named to the Civil Rights Trailblazers of San Marcos and Hays County, which are noted on page 6A. He moved away from San Marcos in high school because he was not allowed to play on the all-white basketball team in the 1950s. He went on to win an Olympic gold medal for the United States and had a stellar career in the NBA. Jackson passed away in 2022 at the age of 80.
