This special episode details the intersection between race and sports and highlights the life of Mr. Jack MF’n Johnson who was the first African-American heavyweight champion of the world! King Dray Mack made the analogy of a sports car and race car intersecting and wrecking to illustrate the convergence of race and sports. This was uploaded on Jack Johnsons birthday which is 143 years after his birth. Jack broke the color line and was breaking jaws at the same time. We will also go into the Mann Act that was constructed to strip Jack of his dignity and how he navigated through the system to overcome obstacles. Putting respect on his name is what we intended with this piece and all details where gathered from books, newspaper articles and documentaries.
