For six decades the World Colored Heavyweight Championship was a
useful tool of racial oppression--the existence of the title far
more important to the white public than its succession of
champions. It took some extraordinary individuals, most notably
Jack Johnson, to challenge "the color line" in the ring, although
the title and the black fighters who contended for it continued
until the reign of Joe Louis a generation later. This history
traces the advent and demise of the Championship, the stories of
the 28 professional athletes who won it, and the demarcation of the
color line both in and out of the ring.
