Description
1927 Jack Johnson Signed Book. Jack Johnson, the first African American heavyweight boxing champion, broke racial barriers and challenged societal norms in the early 20th century. Known for his exceptional skill and powerful personality, he won the title in 1908 and held it until 1915, facing intense racial prejudice throughout his career. Johnson's dominance in the ring and his defiance of segregationist attitudes made him a symbol of resistance and pride for African Americans. His legacy extends beyond sports, as he paved the way for future generations of black athletes and remains a cultural icon who fought for equality and justice.Offered is an autobiography Johnson signed on the back cover. Expected toning and wear throughout the hardcover item. Some hardcover chipping, page creasing, and indentions. Black ink signature displays well. Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
