520 "The heartbreaking, timeless, and redemptive story of the
transformative friendship binding a fallen-from-grace NFL
player and a Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist who
meet on the streets of New Orleans, offering a rare
glimpse into the precarious world of homelessness and the
lingering impact of systemic racism and poverty on the
lives of NOLA's citizens"--|cProvided by publisher.
520 In 1990, while covering a story about homelessness,
Jackson encountered a drug addict sleeping under a bridge.
The homeless stranger looked the photojournalist in the
eye and said, "You ought to do a story about me." When
Jackson asked why, he was stunned by the answer. "Because
I've played in three Super Bowls." Jackie Wallace was a
former NFL star who rose to the pinnacle of fame and
fortune, only to crash and lose it all. Here Jackson
describes the details of how Wallace spiraled into
addiction and homelessness-- and of the thirty-year
relationship the two developed. -- adapted from jacket
