Jack Johnson
With the fall of the last of the "White Hopes," Johnson became more unpopular than ever. If white race pride had been indignant before, now it was infuriated. At Ogden, Utah, a gang of white toughs mobbed Johnson's private car. The hatred against Johnson was vented in attacks on Negroes over the nation. Riots broke out in New York, Washington, Chicago, and elsewhere. Scores of blacks and whites were killed, and thousands injured. The repercussions were felt in Africa and in every part of the world where ill-feeling existed between white and colored. These disorders were followed by a long, bitter, wordy battle over the fight films. Censorship laws were passed by several states barring fight films and Jim Crow laws were tightened in the Southern states...In 1927 The Ring, a popular boxing magazine, nominated him "the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time." He defeated all the leading heavyweights and near heavyweights of his time.

(More than just a fighter, he was a cultural icon and social lightning-rod, a musician, an actor, and even an inventor. They just don't make athletes, or men, like they used to. )

(I have to admit, the iPod shuffle has been a welcome addition to my pocket, but I feel like I'm just scratching the surface. The fact that there's an O'ReillyNet article on how to use it confirms my suspicions. (b/w lifehacker))
