This volume presents fifteen chapters of biography of African
American and black champions and challengers of the early prize
ring. They range from Tom Molineaux, a slave who won freedom and
fame in the ring in the early 1800s; to Joe Gans, the first African
American world champion; to the flamboyant Jack Johnson, deemed
such a threat to white society that film of his defeat of former
champion and "Great White Hope" Jim Jeffries was banned across much
of the country. Photographs, period drawings, cartoons, and fight
posters enhance the biographies. Round-by-round coverage of select
historic fights is included, as is a foreword by Hall-of-Fame
boxing announcer Al Bernstein.
