The Northshore Amateur Sports Academy, INC (NASA) and Nights Diamonds, Inc have partnered together to do their part to celebrate the rich history of Gary, IN, a city with a connection to industrialization, early 20th century immigration, and the Civil Rights Movement. The collaboration, led by Wallace Johnson (President of NASA & Retired MLB player), Garthell Elkins, Wayne Fowler (President of Night Diamonds, INC & author), and Tyrone Hamilton, seeks to bring awareness to the great things accomplished by individuals born and/or raised in Gary, Indiana by placing a sign at the intersection of 2300 Madison Street in Gary, IN. The sign, which is enroute the Jackson Family childhood home, lists the names of notable Garyites.
