Pic of the Day: “Now you’re the first Black man in the history of the ring who’s ever had a crack at the heavyweight title. Now white folks, of course, are behind Brady. He’s the redeemer of the race and so on. But you, Jack Jefferson, are you the Black hope?” “Well, I’m Black and I’m hopin’.” “Answer him straight, Jack.” “Hey, look, man, I ain’t fighting for no race, I ain’t redeeming nobody. My mama told me Mr. Lincoln done that. Ain’t that why you shot him?” (55th Anniversary)
