It was a summer of racial tension – the year after Watts and the year before white police officers beat up a black cab driver, sparking the Newark Rebellion of 1967. Whites thought Bobby was the next President; blacks thought Martin was their champion. No one could have predicted in two years they would both be dead – killed by assassins bullets. It was 1966. Hippies were flocking to California; The Hurricane was a contender for the World Middleweight Title. At the time, no one would have believed that a group of white hippies and a black boxing genius had anything in common. But 20 years of fighting a losing battle inside an unfamiliar ring makes even the strongest person ask for help. And when a man needs help, sometimes it comes from the most unlikely people and places.jewelry
