The World Colored Heavyweight Championship, 1876-1937

About The World Colored Heavyweight Championship, 1876-1937

For six decades the World Colored Heavyweight Championship was a useful tool of racial oppression - the existence of the title more important to the white public than its champions. This book traces the history of the Championship, the stories of the 28 athletes who won it, and the demarcation of the colour line both in and out of the ring.
