Joe Louis

This Wednesday's presentation on Joe Louis was, frankly, inspiring. Joe Louis was someone that I knew very little about, so this was informative as well as entertaining. Before the presentation, I only knew vague details about the fight against Schmeling. I had no idea that Louis donated money to the Navy or Army Relief funds, or anything about his influence in the armed forces. Something that I found particularly interesting was that Schmeling paid for Louis' funeral.
