  • "In 1938, America was in the throes of the Great Depression, and World War II was looming. On June 22 of that year, in New York?s Yankee Stadium, German Max Schmeling and American Joe Louis were squaring off for the heavyweight championship of the world. More than 90,000 people crowded into the stadium to watch the encounter, and countless millions more the largest radio audience in history listened around the world. The pressure on each fighter was enormous. Joe Louis was not only fighting for the honour of his country, he was literally holding the hopes of all of black America in his fists. For Max Schmeling, the fight would demonstrate Hitler?s racial theories of white superiority."@en
