Book about a court case on same-race discrimination
The Eighth Round[1] by Zeke Wilson (II) is a non-fiction book that documents a precedent-setting court battle about same-race discrimination, which had previously not been legally defined.
This was the first case in the United States to reach a Federal court jury to challenge the concept of same-race discrimination. The case was brought on September 11, 2000, by Zeke Wilson, a Black licensed boxing promoter, against a state sports commission headed by a Black chairman. Wilson sought damage reparations and punitive redress after alleging his right to conduct professional boxing events was violated.[2]
