He got more column inches of newspaper coverage in the 1930's than FDR did. His racially and politically charged defeat of Max Schmeling in 1938 made Louis a national hero. But as important as his record is what he meant to African-Americans: at a time when the boxing ring was the only venue where black and white could meet on equal terms, Louis embodied all their hopes for dignity and equality. Through meticulous research and first-hand interviews, acclaimed historian and biographer Randy Roberts presents Louis, and his impact on sport and country, in a way never before accomplished. Roberts reveals an athlete who carefully managed his public image, and whose relationships with both the black and white communities-including his relationships with mobsters-were far more complex than the simplistic accounts of heroism and victimization that have dominated previous biographies. Richly researched and utterly captivating, this extraordinary biography presents the full range of Joe Louis's power in and out of the boxing ring. 606 $aAfrican American boxers$vBiography 606 $aBoxers (Sports)$zUnited States$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAfrican American boxers 615 0$aBoxers (Sports) 676 $a796.83092 676 $aB 700 $aRoberts$b Randy$f1951-$0962330 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463123203321 996 $aJoe Louis$92480345 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01535nam 2200469Ia 450 001 9910711299503321 005 20180711120935.0 024 8 $aGOVPUB-C13-9ac8ff238944a38bab264713da440fee 035 $a(CKB)5470000002481021 035 $a(OCoLC)959982841 035 $a(OCoLC)995470000002481021 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002481021 100 $a20161006d1952 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aMaking one measurement do the work of two /$fW.J.

Fiction. 330 $aThis fascinating anthology collects notable  New Yorker  pieces from the most tumultuous years of the twentieth century--including work by James Baldwin, Pauline Kael, Sylvia Plath, Roger Angell, and Muriel Spark--alongside new assessments of the 1960s by some of today's finest writers. Here are real-time accounts of these years, brought to immediate and profound life: Calvin Trillin reports on the integration of Southern universities, E. B. White and John Updike wrestle with the enormity of the Kennedy assassination, and Jonathan Schell travels with American troops into the jungles of Vietnam. Some of the truly timeless works of American journalism came out of  The New Yorker  that decade, including Truman Capote's  In Cold Blood,  Rachel Carson's  Silent Spring,  and James Baldwin's  The Fire Next Time,  all excerpted here. The arts, too, underwent an extraordinary transformation, with the magazine publishing such indelible short story masterpieces as John Cheever's "The Swimmer" and John Updike's "A & P"; iconic poems by Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton; and in-depth profiles of crucial cultural figures like Bob Dylan, Allen Ginsberg, Mike Nichols and Elaine May, and Muhammad Ali (when he was still Cassius Clay). This collection of groundbreaking pieces is also given contemporary context by current  New Yorker  writers, resulting in an incomparable portrait of a truly galvanizing era.

The contributor list is an embarrassment of riches. . . . The hits continue. Bring on the '70s." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "[ The 60s ] deserves a lasting place on one's shelves.
