    Its the black face in the front.
    Louis boxed to segregated audiences in the States.
    The US Army tried to pull that over in the UK, but Louis said "this isnt the States , no Jim Crow **** here", he spoke to some top brass ,and got all his ring work in Europe before integrated crowds , of service men, no mean acheivement in those times.
