Requests:  0 Summary:  "On the morning of July 4, 1910, thousands of boxing fans stormed a newly built stadium in Reno, Nevada, to witness an epic showdown. Jack Johnson, the world's first Black heavyweight champion--and most infamous athlete in the world because of his race--was paired against Jim Jeffries, a former heavyweight champion then heralded as the "great white hope." It was the height of the Jim Crow era, and spectators were eager for Jeffries to restore the racial hierarchy that Johnson had pummeled with his quick fists. Transporting readers directly into the ring, artist Youssef Daoudi and poet Adrian Matejka intersperse dramatic boxing action with vivid flashbacks to reveal how Johnson, the self-educated son of formerly enslaved parents, reached the pinnacle of sport--all while facing down a racist justice system.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 796.83092 Johnson Ma Graphic Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library YA -- Biography B Johnson Ma GN Checked In Add Copy to MyList
