Illustrated with black-and-white photographs and drawings by Edwin William Krauter. FIRST CAROL PUBLISHING GROUP EDITION, FIRST PRINTING, 1992. "To many, Jack Johnson was the greatest boxer of all time. Had Jack Johnson been a white man, he would have attained an influence in the world which few other men have attained. But Jack Johnson was not. Because of his race, he had from the start the burden of prejudice to bear and to contend with conditions and human jealousies which in no way would ever have attached to a white man. When he successfully fought his way to the world championship, his achievement, instead of mitigating these prejudices and jealousies, intensified them. The story of Jack Johnson is a thrilling and interesting one, his career full of romance and adventure. This repirnt of an edition first published in 1927 is a memorial to a great American hero." -- from the rear outer cover. Krauter, Edwin William (special drawings) (illustrator).…
