  • Unforgivable Blackness: The Jack Johnson Story
    Jan 29 2026

    In this solo minisode, Johnny McCann tells the story of Jack Johnson the first Black heavyweight champion who ruled the ring from 1908 to 1915.

    He dominated, lived large, and refused to bow flashy cars, white wives, zero apologies. America branded him “unforgivable.”

    Johnny covers the fights, the racist backlash, the “Great White Hope” hunt, and the charges that drove him into exile.

    A raw look at race, power, and defiance.
