It took some extraordinary individuals, most notably Jack Johnson, to challenge \"the color line\" in the ring, although the title and the black fighters who contended for it continued until the reign of Joe Louis a generation later. This history traces the advent and demise of the Championship, the stories of the 28 professional athletes who won it, and the demarcation of the color line both in and out of the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Allen Baker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476677654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476677651\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 6.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Mark Allen Baker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988998127871,"sku":"9781476677651","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_029faa0b-f0ce-4bae-90e4-422eaba153b3.jpg?v=1683297348","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-world-colored-heavyweight-championship-mark-allen-baker-9781476677651","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
