Born in a sharecropper's shack in the Alabama hills, the grandson of enslaved people, and moved to Detroit in the Great Migration, where he hid a violin case with boxing gloves in it from his mother. He held the heavyweight title for twelve years and beat Schmeling in two minutes in 1938 with a country watching.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
