The campaign for racial equality in sports has both reflected and affected the campaign for racial equality in the United States. Some of the most significant and publicized stories in this campaign in the twentieth century have happened in sports, including, of course, Jackie Robinson in baseball; Jesse Owens, Tommie Smith, and John Carlos in track; Arthur Ashe in tennis; and Jack Johnson, Joe Louis, and Muhammad Ali in boxing. Long after the full integration of college and professional athletics, race continues to play a major role in sports. Not long ago, sportswriters and sportscasters ignored racial issues. They now contribute to the public’s evolving racial attitudes on issues both on and off the field, ranging from integration to self-determination to masculinity.
From Jack Johnson to LeBron James examines the intersection of sports, race, and the media in the twentieth century and beyond. The essays are linked by a number of questions, including: How did the black and white media differ in content and context in their reporting of these stories? How did the media acknowledge race in their stories? Did the media recognize these stories as historically significant? Considering how media coverage has evolved over the years, the essays begin with the racially charged reporting of Jack Johnson’s reign as heavyweight champion and carry up to the present, covering the media narratives surrounding the Michael Vick dogfighting case in a supposedly post-racial era and the media’s handling of LeBron James’s announcement to leave Cleveland for Miami.

An excerpt from the book:
When one talks about the greatest basketball players to have ever played the game, LeBron James always comes into the discussion. You speak of the greats such as Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Kobe Bryant when ranking the best players in NBA history. There is no doubt that LeBron belongs in such a discussion and may have even become greater than any player not named Michael Jordan.
In a career that started in 2003 when he was drafted as an 18-year-old high school phenom, LeBron James took the league by storm and has always been one of the best the NBA had to offer. Nobody in the world has ever seen a basketball player quite like him. His skills, talents, and physical gifts were unparalleled to the point that he was lauded as the next great thing in NBA basketball.
Physically, LeBron James was always regarded as the most gifted athlete in league history. Standing about 6'8" and weighing at least 250 pounds of muscle, James has always had the size and strength that rivals the all-time great physique of Karl Malone. But despite his size and strength, LeBron James moves as quickly as a guard and has the athleticism of Dominique Wilkins.
