Joe Louis: Hometown Hero

Saturday December 5, 2009 from 9:00am - 5:00pm

Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History

315 E. Warren
Detroit, Michigan Get Directions

This exhibit is a comprehensive portrait of one of boxing's greatest figures. Louis' legend is built on the fact that he managed to topple Nazi Germany's hubris as well as America's own racial stereotypes of the day...and those ripple effects are still being felt today.
