The first Black man to become heavyweight boxing champion, Jack Johnson fought through an entire system.
Derrick Coleman retweeted
On this day in 1908, Jack Johnson became the first Black American World Heavyweight Boxing Champion by knocking out Tommy Burns.
Johnson holding on to the heavyweight crown was not acceptable in an era of white imperialism.
This past year, the DC Elite Summer League reimagined what victory looks like.
No trophies — winning schools earned fully built, permanent laundry rooms.
With Whirlpool and I Am Derrick, the Spin Cycle Playoffs created infrastructure that lasts long after the buzzer.
No matter where I’ve been or what I’ve done in life, the block comes first.
To see my young cousins step up and continue serving our community means everything. Remember Tanisha Stokes you don’t fit in because you weren’t meant to — their ceiling is your floor. Build higher.
1 in 5 students miss school because they don’t have clean clothes.
I Am Derrick is changing that.
Congratulations to @PontiacAtap High School — the first-ever school to earn a I Am Derrick Laundry Room through the Spin Cycle @DCSummerLeague
