While recently scrolling the music library, I came across this song. The title is what drew me in and I had never heard of this artist before. Take a listen.

This is it. The hometown unveiling of a legend. The Narragansett runner. The Boston Marathon champion. The Olympian who stood alongside Jesse Owens on the 1936 U.S. Olympic team and competed among the greatest athletes on Earth. Ellison “Tarzan” Brown was not just a champion. He was one of the greatest Native athletes America has ever produced.

On Saturday, June 13 at 11 am, Westerly will finally honor Tarzan Brown with a permanent statue at Rooney Park, 14 Railroad Avenue, beside the Westerly Train Station. This is more than a dedication. It is the closing of a chapter nearly a century in the making. The crowd that gathers that morning will witness a moment that can only happen once.

Bring your family. Call your friends. Invite your neighbors. Share this post. Years from now, people will stand before this statue and tell the story of the day it was unveiled. Don’t be the person who says, “I wish I had gone.” Be there when history is made and help give one of Rhode Island’s greatest athletes the recognition he deserved all along.
