Untitled[edit]

Major Coxson was a notorious Black Mafia kingpin in Camden County: He gained infamy in 1972 when the IRS seized his assets (as documented in Time Magazine); and became notorious upon his 1973 murder. I remember that morning well on the way to private school, as a police helicopter was hovering above the area: We were just south of Kresson Road in Woodcrest; while Muhammad Ali's atrium mansion was just north, on Barbara Drive.

Incidentally, Ali did not have that particular house (that the Coxson family was slain in) built: We walked through it several times when it was being built; and construction was almost complete when the builder put the property up for sale; and Ali bought it. (This I know, because my parents almost bought it!) Discpad 03:29, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reason for this article? The information is scant, and maybe even wrong (there is doubt as to whether it was actually Ali's house). This seems to be a waste. Amishjedi (talk) 01:55, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Let me repeat: My parents almost bought the Spanish atrium in the Voken Tract back in 1968 (I was 8 at the time) when it was put up for sale. What I liked is that it had two basements; and that the basement floor was poured plastic over the concrete (new technology at the time). What else would you like to know about the one-story stucco atrium on Barbara Drive, that Ali swooped in and bought because he liked the privacy as well as the design? Yes, he owned it; and at some point it was stolen, err, "donated" to his Black Muslim "managers." If this were more important than this arcane article about a thug and his murder, I could easily swing by 820 Mercer Street and check the property tax rolls.
