Way before Cassius Clay (later to be Muhammad Ali) was even a twinkle in his father's eye an African-American took the World Heavyweight Boxing Champion, the first African-American to do so.
The year was 1908 and Jack Johnson held the title for seven years. Yet many people have never heard of Jack Johnson, but his story is one which needs to be told.
