Long Answer

1. Students could discuss anyone that Cassius mentions, including Jack Johnson, Chuck Berry, Nina Simone, Emmett Till, Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson, Bo Diddley, Cool Papa Bell, and Satchel Paige, among others. These allusions work to place Cassius’s story within historical context, further Cassius’s resolve to become the greatest boxer in the world, and highlight the racial discrimination that Black individuals face.
