Description:

Boxer Joe Louis's heavyweight punch is memorialized in bronze. It was commissioned by Sports Illustrated in 1986 and sculpted by Robert Graham. It symbolizes not only the Alabama-born boxer's strength inside the ring, but his dedication to fighting Jim Crow laws that were prevalent in his era.
