Ten days after the fight, Paret, who had directed a homophobic slur at Griffith during the weigh-in died from his injuries. In Knock Out!, Reinhard Kleist draws a powerful, emotive portrait of a bisexual Black athlete who, facing racism and homophobia in 1960s America, found success in the world of boxing. This is the true story of a fierce and ambitious fighter, and of a knock-out blow that ended one life and changed a second forever."-- cover page 4. 650 4 $a Graphic novel. 600 10 $a Griffith, Emile. 650 0 $a Boxers (Sports) $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African American boxers $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African American bisexual men $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Bisexual men $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Homophobia $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Racism $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Biographical comics. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 lcgft 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024921.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909065024.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210828011336.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2B16E65807C611EC9B70F7B836ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
