Jack Jefferson
The film that launched the career of James Earl Jones, “The Great White Hope” was the very much based on the life of the first African American Heavyweight Boxing Champion, Jack Johnson. As Jack Jefferson, we watched Jefferson struggle with the race card in an era that thankfully none of us know firsthand. The film was more about that, than actual boxing, but the performance of Jones is a gem we should not forget.The Bullet Points:
