The Legendary Jack Johnson - A Look Back at His Iconic Career

Johnson’s life is a plot for an Oscar-winning movie. Here you will have everything: need, humiliation, will, character, success, personal leopard, golden canes, chic cars, romantic relationship with cult women of that time, three marriages on white women. And most importantly: the dislike of all-white America. Dislike for trampled values, dislike for the champion title taken from the white, dislike for the fact that the best white women shared a bed with him. Dislike, for his truly unique boxing skills, for an inimitable smile, for chic outfits. In general, John was one of the first to fulfill the “American dream”: from an ordinary black child of former slaves, he grew up to a world boxing star with all the consequences: cars, apartments, and money-money-money. #boxing #legend
