CLEVELAND: Jim Brown was virtually unstoppable in every arena. A spokeswoman for Brown's family said he died peacefully in his Los Angeles home on Thursday night with his wife, Monique, by his side. "To the world, he was an activist, actor, and football star," Monique Brown wrote in an Instagram post. "We all stand on your shoulders Jim Brown. If you grew up in Northeast Ohio and were Black, Jim Brown was a God."
