In conclusion to the question ‘What is the significance of the boxing matches between Joe Louis and Max Schmeling with regards to race relations in the 1930’s?’ I believe that the boxing match between these two boxers is significant to race relations. The evidence to support this is mainly based in the aftermath of both fights; Joe Louis still remained a professional after his boxing career. He gained a job in a top hotel after his boxing career which showed other black African Americans that they can gain well paid jobs. Also he changed the attitudes of white Americans on Black African Americans by not following in the rebellious footsteps of Jack Johnson. This showed White Americans that Jack Johnson was merely a troubled man and wasn’t a true portrayal of all African Americans.
