Joe was in the process of moving from his campus studio at 185 Nassau Street to his new studio because he would be retiring after the end of the school year in June.
Joe was very polite to me, but he did not appear interested in teaching me. He did however invite me to come by the studio and help out around the studio and at the same time work on some of my own sculpture.
When Joe saw the likeness in the portrait he said, “You are going to do a lot of beautiful stuff.” I knew as well as Joe that I still had a long way to go with my sculpture and I was committed to learning and absorbing all that I could.

Joe Brown (1926-1997) was an accomplished Afro-American boxer who won the undisputed Lightweight Championship of the World in 1956, making eleven successful defences before being relieved of his crown by the highly-rated Carlos Ortiz in 1962.
The skilful Brown, standing a lanky 5 feet 7 ½ inches, with a long reach and solid left hand, came to be viewed as dangerous – too dangerous by some astute managers who frequently appeared to steer their charges away from meeting him.
Joe Brown earned his crack at the Lightweight Championship of the World by out-pointing reigning champion, Wallace ‘Bud’ Smith in a non-title bout held in Houston, Texas, in May, 1956.

McKenzie often warned Brown, “Don’t plan on making a living with your art, because if you try, you will be shaped by the fashions in art and cease to be an artist, because you will no longer work from the basis of personal experience.” Brown heeded this advice and combined teaching and coaching with art.
Brown had kept silent about his artistic talent, fearing that the mix of art and athletics would be viewed as a weakness.

 Film Review: "Joe and Max": Joe Louis in the Fights of His Life
Before Muhammad Ali became the greatest, there was Joe Louis, the Brown Bomber, who fought at a time when African Americans looked to a Black heavyweight champ to potently symbolize our fight, might and possibility of victory.
"Joe and Max," premiering on the Starz movie channel, March 9 at 8 p.m., is a better than decent attempt at telling the story of Louis's life as it intertwined with that of Max Schmeling, the German boxer with whom he fought two pivotal fights during his career.
At the same time, both boxers had to contend with being used for national propaganda purposes but ultimately abused within their home country.
