Celebrate Me Home: Paul Gonzales
The time you won your bout the race
We cheered you through the market-place;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high.
Today, the road all winners come,
Shoulder-high we celebrate you home,
And set you at this threshold down,
Are the townsmen of this much brighter town.
The son of a single mom
Who ran with gangs until almost done.
The gangster became a boxer.
And in that summer of 1984 the world's greatest city fell in love with Paul Gonzales.
Because he not only defeated poverty.
• He defeated (South Korea, Uganda, Venezuela, Great Britain and walked all over Italy to become the first Mexican American ever to win the Olympic Gold Medal.
Ladies and Gentlemen will you please stand and celebrate home Olympic Gold Medal Winner and ELAC alumnus Mr. Paul Gonzales.
