When IAAS was working on the Johnny Kilbane Sculpture Project in 2012-2014, IAAS Board President Tom Corrigan researched and delivered a couple of talks about the role of Irish Americans in popularizing the sport of boxing in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. With a decade's perspective on that research, Corrigan shares reflections on the connection between the Lasalle Club that nurtured Johnny Kilbane and the CYO sports activities that his uncle, Msgr.
