Great Joe Lous Bio! September 9, 2008
This is a great Bio on the great champion Joe Louis! The content is totally engaging with intimate insight on the man by his son Joe Louis, Jr. I first felt hurt, betrayed and then angry by the way America used this Black man (and to a certain extend, Joe allowed himself to be used) for their own means and then discarded him after he was no longer useful to America (the patriotic drum beating, etc.)! However, in the end America redeems herself and does what is right by Joe even though most of the redeemption comes posthumously. This is a great view!
