Black Boxing Heavyweights - Jack Johnson, Joe Lewis, & Muhammad Ali - Extra History

Please consider donating to the Parkinson's Foundation here - http://bit.ly/EHHeavyweight We tend to think of sports as pure entertainment. Some people even get angry when politics makes its way into the conversation. But sports are played by people who live within systems and societies and nothing makes that clearer than the stories behind some of boxing's biggest names: Jack Johnson, Joe Lewis, and of course, Muhammad Ali. All three are legendary for their fights in the ring. But that's not where their struggles ended. ___________ Support the people who make this show, vote for future Extra History topics and get great perks at our Patreon! http://bit.ly/EHPatreon Subscribe & ! to our channel on YouTube at http://bit.ly/SubToEC Got more info about Extra Credits on our website at http://extracredits.site/ Grab your Extra Credits gear at the store! http://extracredits.store/ ___________ Thanks for participating in this week's discussion!
