This illuminating biography grounds the spectacular story of Robinsons rise to greatness within the context of the fighters life and times. Born Walker Smith Jr. in 1921, Robinsons early childhood was marked by the seething racial tensions and explosive race riots that infected the Midwest throughout the twenties and thirties. After his mother moved him and his sisters to the relative safety of Harlem, he came of age in the vibrant postRenaissance years. It was there thatencouraged to box by his mother, who wanted him off the streetshe soon became a rising star, cutting an electrifying, glamorous figure, riding around town in his famous pink Cadillac. Beyond the celebrity, though, Robinson would emerge as a powerful, often controversial black symbol in a rapidly changing America.From Robinsons gruesome sixbout war with Jake Raging Bull LaMotta and his lethal meeting with Jimmy Doyle to his Harlem nightclub years and thwarted showbiz dreams, Haygood brings the champions story, in the ring and out, powerfully to life against a vividly painted backdrop of the world he captivated.
