Today in History: June 22, Joe Louis knocks out Max Schmeling
On June 22, 1938, Joe Louis knocked out Max Schmeling in 2 minutes, marking a significant moment in geopolitical history and African American representation.
The room that housed the gym where Louis trained remains in the building's basement. But the center had become so dilapidated that it faced a wrecking ball about a decade ago, Mayor Mike Duggan said.
