Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson

Jack Johnson steps into the ring, his fists challenging not just his opponents, but the very fabric of the Jim Crow era.

This documentary traces his meteoric rise from the Galveston docks to global fame, and his orchestrated downfall at the hands of a system determined to destroy him.
