Bring It To Jerome

Former NFL star LaDainian Tomlinson began the last section of his Pro Football Hall of Fame induction speech with “If this was my last day on Earth, and this my final speech,” then shared the story of his family. It is a story of West Africans, slaves, freemen, that is inextricably linked with Chris Tomlinson’s family story of slave owners, Klansmen, political and social power brokers. LaDainian Tomlinson is black. Chris Tomlinson is white. Chris Tomlinson joined this episode of “Bring It To Jerome” and gives details of these family histories, in many ways this family’s history … the story of Tomlinson Hill.
