"James Forman, a civil rights pioneer who helped inspire young people in the 1960s as a leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, has died of colon cancer, his son said Tuesday. Forman was 76.
...A Chicago native who grew up in Mississippi, Forman was a principal organizer of the 1963 March on Washington and the Freedom Rides in which blacks rode across the South to make sure buses were integrated as ordered by the courts.
In 1961, he joined the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and was elected its executive secretary one week later."

Ha! Iamme, That was my first thought also. I was about to go grill a hamburger in celebration of his contributions to humanity.
 
I know! *I* too thought of the grill thing, rather than his boxing history.
