Newsday July 21, 2004 -- Burns was on hand to discuss his new four-hour film about Jack Johnson, the first black heavyweight boxing champion (1908-14), due to premiere on PBS in January. Burns said that time, study and exposure to black scholars such as WUSTL professor Gerald Early, a key consultant on "Baseball," "Jazz" and now "Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson," have given him - and thus his company's films - a more mature understanding of race in America. |
