Just got done watching it, it was reallly good. A great story.
It's really boggling the level of racism that existed in those days. This guy should get more recognition in regards to the advancement of racial equality.

It airs again tonight at 8pm central on the PBS affiliate here.
As with Burn's other work, it's worth the time to watch. |

Great documentary. I learned a lot. He'd easily have to be considered as one of the best ever.
The way he toyed with that guy to win his first championship of the world was amazing. On the news reels you could actually see him laughing and smiling at the crowd while beating the crap out of that guy. His personal life was actually the most interesting part of the entire documentary. |

I watched it. Great show. I am sort of preoccupied with that time period of Jack Johnson.
