On the morning of 4 July 1910, thousands of boxing fans stormed a newly built stadium in Reno, Nevada, to witness an epic showdown. Jack Johnson, the worlds first Black heavyweight championand most infamous athlete in the world because of his racewas paired against Jim Jeffries, a former heavyweight champion then heralded as the great white hope. It was the height of the Jim Crow era, and spectators were eager for Jeffries to restore the racial hierarchy that Johnson had pummelled with his quick fists.

Transporting readers directly into the ring, artist Youssef Daoudi and poet Adrian Matejka intersperse dramatic boxing action with vivid flashbacks to reveal how Johnson, the self-educated son of formerly enslaved parents, reached the pinnacle of sportall while facing down a racist justice system. Through a combination of breathtaking illustrations and striking verse, Last on His Feet honours a contentious civil rights figure who has for more than a century been denied his proper due.

It could be called a graphic novel if that description didn't fail to fully capture its cinematically visual and literary substance... [ A] masterpiece. " -- Rick Kogan - The Chicago Tribune "Last on His Feet... revisits this "Fight of the Century," which wasn't just a landmark in athleticsit was a crucible for the racial animosity Black Americans had to navigate during Jim Crow. Through a stylish mix of prose, blank verse and illustrations, Last on His Feet captures these tensions with unsparing poignancy. " -- Brandon Tensley - Smithsonian Magazine
