Knockout! A Photobiography of Boxer Joe Louis by George Sullivan describes the life of boxing legend Joe Louis Barrow (Joe Louis). Joe Louis was an incredibly important person to all people in the United States during the 30s and early 40s. He stood for equality to black people fighting for civil rights, and he stood for "America" in the fight against Nazi Germany during World War II. His 11 year, 8 month record for holding the heavyweight title of the world has never been broken!This was a really interesting book. I didn't know anything about Joe Louis until I read it. It was interesting to learn how influential and important he was to people during the 30s and 40s. He was so much more than just a sports figure.
