Description
1910s Jack Johnson Signed Pin. Jack Johnson's legacy is that of a trailblazer who broke racial barriers in sports and became a symbol of defiance and resilience during a deeply segregated era in American history. As the first African American heavyweight boxing champion, he won the title in 1908 and dominated the ring with his skill, power, and confidence, often outclassing his opponents. His 1910 victory over Jim Jeffries in the "Fight of the Century" was a landmark moment that challenged racial stereotypes but also sparked widespread racial tensions. Despite facing immense societal and legal challenges, Johnson's courage and achievements paved the way for future generations of Black athletes, cementing his place as one of the most significant figures in sports history.Offered is a ribbon pin that's hold is signed and inscribed by Johnson. Expected wear from age exhibited, including discoloration and smudging. Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
