ChadIn the biography of Jack Johnson, Unforgivable Blackness, here's a footnote that describes a film made of Jack Johnson sparring as well as footage of the Chicago American Giants with Rube Foster and Pete Hill, the Detroit Stars with Bruce Petway and the old KC Monarchs featuring Sam Crawford. If it still existed, it would be the only live footage of the early negro league teams. To quote a popular summer movie, "arrrghghghghgghghghghghgh!".
