In the years leading up to WWII, an American boxing hero competed against a German champion in what would become a historic battle of the nations.Joe Louis was born on an Alabama cotton patch and raised in a Detroit ghetto. Max Schmeling grew up in poverty in Hamburg, Germany. For both boys, boxing was a path out and a ladder up. Little did they know that they would one day face each other in a pair of matches that would capture the world's attention.Joe grew into a symbol of inspiration to a nation of Black Americans hoping to carve a slice of the 'American Dream' in a racially fractured country. Max, on the other hand, became a Nazi symbol for the superiority of the Aryan race.The battles waged between Joe and Max still resonate, and the cultural implications of the international sensation continue to reverberate far past the ring.
