Jack Johnson , the first Black heavyweight champion, defeated James J. Jeffries in 1910 , sparking race riots across the U.S. After Johnson 's reign ended, the odds were stacked against Black fighters who were vying to become the world heavyweight boxing champ.
That ended due to a fighter with Detroit roots— Joe Louis .
Johnson 's victory challenged white supremacy and had a lasting impact on boxing, delaying the next Black heavyweight title fight for decades .
Jack Johnson was posthumously pardoned by President Donald Trump in 2018 , 105 years after he was convicted of violating the Mann Act for transporting a white woman, who later became his wife, across state lines.
Runstedtler says that a study of stories written about Louis in the Black Press during his heyday reveals that he, too, was admired in different ways than Louis ’ normal mainstream portrayal.
