	Unforgivable Blackness . About the Film \| PBS
		Johnson, who was born in 1878 in Galveston, Texas, began boxing as a young teenager in the Jim Crow-era South.
		Despite this, Johnson was persistent in challenging James J. Jeffries — the heavyweight champion at the time, who was considered by many to be the greatest heavyweight in history — for a shot at the title.
		This fight was especially important to Johnson, because many whites had dismissed his claim to the title as invalid; Burns, it was argued, was never the true champion because he didn't win the title by beating Jeffries.

		In that atmosphere, Johnson's success and the way he proudly carried himself was frowned upon, and his many relationships with white women further incensed his critics.

		John Arthur "Jack" Johnson's legacy ceases to be a mere memory.
		Johnson, who was the first African-American heavyweight champion of the world and was inclined to have relationships with Caucasian women, and paradoxically his relationship with a young Caucasian woman named Lucille Cameron (he later married Cameron) sparked attention and provided law enforcement authorities with a reason to investigate the proud and resilient fighter.
		The Caucasian community longed for a boxer who would have the strength to "knock" Johnson in his place; retired heavyweight champion Jim Jeffries was commissioned to restore the title back to the Caucasian community.
