The irrational yet irrestible urge to know or make known. The CC is a "club" founded by a small group of medical professionals, who have made a pastime of turning medical cases and discussions into medically irrelevant history lessons, philosophical rants, and displays of one-upsmanship. The official premise, since the "club" was named, has been to exchange and discuss various books, movies, and ideas. Sometimes we eat sushi.

Unforgivable Blackness
The story of the Rise and fall of Jack Johnson. This a a great documentary that aired on PBS the last two nights about his becoming the first black heavyweight boxing champion and the search for the "great white hope" that followed. I never really new much about this whole episode in American history but it is really interesting. There is great old footage, interviews, and Johnson's voice is played by Samuel L Jackson.
wanted to see it but was otc, anybody record it ?
ReplyDeleteI didn't record it. It did air again this weekend but I don't know if it will again or not. If you click on the linked title you can go to PBS and see if it plays again later.
