Joe Louis: America’s Hero… Betrayed (2008)

Born May 12, 1914, in LaFayette, Alabama, Joseph Louis Barrow – who became known as the “Brown Bomber” – was America’s first true crossover athlete. As the first black sports star worshipped by both black and white fans, he was respected not only for his boxing talents, but also for showing the world what a person of color could do if given the opportunity. When he fought, the world stood still.

The film underscores his importance during a critical time in America’s history. From the Great Depression through World War II and into the 1950s, Joe Louis was the poster boy for the American way of life. In 1938, when Louis defeated Germany’s Max Schmeling, his victory was interpreted as democracy’s defeat of Nazism, boosting public morale and transforming him into a true American hero.

The Original Kings of Comedy (2000)

February 26 and 27, 2000, the Original Kings of Comedy play Charlotte, NC. The themes are Blacks and Whites, men and women, old-school and hip-hop. Steve Harvey emcees, celebrates ’70s music and lyrics of love, and pokes at folks in the front row. D.L. Hughley mines racial differences and talks about his marriage. Cedric the Entertainer riffs on a Black president and on being grown up. Bernie Mac, who says he expresses what’s in the back of our minds, closes with reflections on being 42 (new aspects to his sex life and his attitude toward children). Spike Lee’s camera takes us backstage and off-stage with the Kings and into the crowd where everyone’s laughing.
