Prediction

PREDICTION

"My race groaned. It was our people falling. It was another lynching, yet another Back man hanging on a tree. One more woman ambushd and raped... This mght be the end of the word. If Joe lost we were back in slavery and beyond help. It would all be true, the accusations that we were lower types of human beings. Only a little higher than the apes" (?)

This predicts the white vs. Black mentality, when Louis wins the boxing match, it proves that not all blacks are just useful for slave work.

PREDICTION (KEITH)

"They're in a clench, Louis is trying to fight his way out." Some bitter comedian on the porch said,"That white man don't mind hugging that niggah now, I betcha." "The referee is moving in to break them up, but Louis finally pushed the contender away and it's an uppercut to the chin. The contender is hanging on, now he's backing away. Louis catches him with a short left to the jaw." (Pages 133 and 134) This scene predicts that in all aspects of the world at that the time, it was BLACK vs. WHITE. The fight also means so much more to the black race, because it will show that they are human beings and that they are not just meant for slave work. I predict that Joe Louis wins for the fact that it means more to him.
