As Sunday’s kickoff approaches, KPBS looks back at a milestone in Black Super Bowl history — and it happened right here in San Diego.
San Diego never won a Super Bowl, but the city has hosted the game three times and, during Super Bowl XXII, history was made.
Phillip Smith, a Washington fan, was 31 years old and stationed in San Diego during that Super Bowl. He couldn’t get a ticket to the game, but he said he got the next best thing.“First time I saw, there was Doug Williams in that hotel. I had the Super Bowl XXII program," he said."'Doug, can you please sign that for me?' ‘Sure.’ He signed it, gave it back. He shook hands. His hands were just — wow, very, very big.” George Whitfield Jr.
