About this product

Product Information

Award-winning filmmaker Ken Burns directs and produces this documentary series about boxing legend Jack Johnson. UNFORGIVABLE BLACKNESS: THE RISE AND FALL OF JACK JOHNSON explores in great detail the life and struggle of one of the most remarkable African Americans of the 20th century. Despite undeniable talent, Johnson had to fight for his freedom, in his work and in his personal life. Even after becoming the first African American Heavyweight Champion of the World, Johnson still struggled with the injustices inherent in being a black American male in the first half of the 20th century. Samuel L. Jackson provides the voice of Jack Johnson, with additional voiceovers by Billy Bob Thornton, and Ed Harris among others. The documentary features narration by Keith David, of Burns' critically acclaimed JAZZ series, as well as a brilliant soundtrack by distinguished jazz musician Wynton Marsalis.

    Very good Documentary of Jack Johnson

    This in my opinion is a very good documentary on Jack Johnson. He is very well known in the boxing world but attempts were obviously made to try and keep him in that genre. For example, when I was in grade school (although I knew about Johnson) I don't recall him ever being mentioned when it came to great Black sports figures or revolutionaries. That was years ago but I'm going to go out on a limb and say he probably isn't mentioned today in mainstream schools along with other historic sports figures. I could be wrong but if I'm right, even better reason to watch this documentary ... then you'll know why. My favorite quote: "I’m black… They never let me forget it. I’m black alright... I’ll never let them forget it." -Jack Johnson (1878-1946) He was as bold as Muhammad Ali and just as ...

  • Unforgivable Blackness Hits Home!

    This is a compelling documentary concerning the impact of racism in the late 19th century on a man who simply wants to be treated and recognized as a champion boxer. In his day boxing was a brutal blood sport. The perseverance of Jack Johnson to despite the barriers thrown in his way should motivate us all.

  • Among the best Ken Burns films

    Jack Johnson is one of the most interesting people in American history. You don't have to care about boxing or sports to find this documentary transfixing. I find it disappointing that more Americans are not familiar with the story of Jack Johnson.

  • Revelation

    After seeing this biograpy about Johnson, I now as an African person have a respect for him. This shows that he wasn't an Uncle Tom, as portrayed in the "GREAT WHIE HOPE", with James Earls Jones, but he had dignity, and demanded respect as a Human Being, also he wasn't going to be obsequious to those who had the mistaken idea of his being an inferior being. However, eventually the racist and bigots got him, but at lease he Jack Johnson give them HELL while he could.

  • GHOST IN THE HOUSE

    THIS MOVIE ABOUT JACK JOHNSON IS A REAL GREAT STORY OF A REAL BLACK AMERICAN HERO. HE WAS BEFORE HIS OWN TIME AND LIVED LIKE A MAN NOT A SLAVE OR A BOY,BUT A MAN. THIS STORY WILL LET YOU REALLY SEE JUST HOW WHITE AMERICA REALLY WAS BACK THEN, AND REALLY HOW IT IS TODAY.I TRULY BELIEVE THAT JACK JOHNSON WAS THE GREATEST BLACK HEAVYWEIGHTS OF ALL TIMES. I RATE THIS DOCUMENTARY WITH 5 STARS AND SOME MORE. MR.BUZZ BLUEWILDCAT1968 JAN 24,2010
