Damn! I forgot all about this.  I am a boxing fan (do check out Million Dollar Baby!), but haven't followed anything in recent years. Johnson's is an interestnig story from what I've heard, and I regret having missed it. Hopefully it'll be replayed. | |

I saw the film last week and it was truely well done. He lived a truely eventful life in what was undoubtably the worst period to be an African-American during the 20 the century in the States. He ran his own show and didnt allow anyone to define him as a man. You gotta take your hat off to him. Its ironic that he ended up dying in a car accident while racing along the interstate, something that he loved to do. | |
