Joe Louis: America's Fighter Hardcover - 2005
by David A. Adler; Terry Widener (Illustrator)
The inspiring true story of a man who overcame racism and poverty to become America's hero, from an award-winning author-and-illustrator team.
Summary
Joe Louis was a fighter, a world champion boxer, a "punching machine." But more important, Joe Louis was a hero. At the beginning of his fighting career, he was a hero and a symbol of hope to African Americans. Later, Joe Louis became a hero to all Americans, uniting blacks and white boxing fans in their hatred of the Nazis and their desire for him to beat the German fighter Max Schmeling.
With powerful text and luminous illustrations, the award-winning, picture-book team of David A. Adler and Terry Widener has brought to life the true story of one determined individual who overcame racism and poverty . . . and inspired a nation.
Includes a time line highlighting key events in the boxer's life.
