Unforgivable Blackness Part 2

By John Walters on Monday, January 17, 2005.

We continue our conversation with Ken Burns about Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson. The film takes a look at the remarkable life of the early 20th century boxer. He enjoyed wealth and status that few whites could even dream of and that most resented. His fame, fortune, history with white women, and reputation in the boxing ring started America?s search for the Great White Hope.
