THE CULTURE OF GREATNESS

We celebrate the ground breakers, the difference makers, and those whose struggle for greatness is the unending fight at the root of every human triumph. We celebrate the Culture of Greatness that reaches far beyond the field of play. At Roots of Fight we are proud to share the stories of these Icons who became revolutionaries. Each created and defined their own version of greatness. They transcended sport and art to shape popular culture on a global scale. Their contributions are still resonating decades later with new meaning, touching and inspiring people and change for generations. We exist to keep their spirit alive, passing the torch from generation to generation and evangelizing inspiration all over the world.

The Centennial

1920 - 100 years ago, a group of 8 black baseball owners came together to forge a future for their community. From this meeting came the birth of the National Negro League - the first successful, organized professional Black Baseball League. Their passion for the game was boundless and they were not going to wait for change to come.

On June 22, 1938, Joe Louis demolished Max Schmeling in their second meeting. As the heavyweight champ, the Brown Bomber already was a superhero to African-Americans. But fighting Hitler’s darling during a time of mounting tensions between the US and Nazi Germany, Louis shouldered the hope of the entire nation, later recalling:

"I knew I had to get Schmeling good. I had my own personal reasons and the whole damned country was depending on me.” 70,000 fans crowded Yankee Stadium to witness Louis avenge his earlier loss and the crowd got what they came to see as Schmeling recounted on his way to the hospital after the fight:

"As we drove through Harlem, there were noisy, dancing crowds. Bands had left the nightclubs and bars and were playing and dancing on the sidewalks and streets. The whole area was filled with celebration, noise, and saxophones, continuously punctuated by the calling of Joe Louis' name.”
