Fight of the Century (Jack Johnson, Joe Louis, and the Struggle for Racial Equality)

This is a revealing look at the history of race relations in the United States during the first half of the twentieth century portrayed through the lives and times of the first two African-American heavyweight boxing champions, Jack Johnson and Joe Louis.
