Abstract

Nineteenth-century heavyweight champion of Australia, Peter Jackson, “The Black Prince”, could not get a world-title match with John L. Sullivan, the “Boston Strong Boy.” Racism was the reason. Jackson turned to acting, and exhibition fights between acts—becoming the best-known “Uncle Tom” of his day.
