Description
Chicago shrinks back from a shield labeled "Jack Johnson" in this political cartoon by Harold R. Heaton, likely referring to the July 4, 1910, boxing match between James J. Jeffries and Jack Johnson in Reno, Nevada. The fight, between a white man and a black man, sparked riots from disappointed whites across the U.S. and celebrations from blacks, particularly in Chicago.
