Everyone wants to leave a legacy worth remembering. There are many different ways to measure a successful life like nurturing a big, beautiful family, being a prominent member in society, or even accumulating wealth. While everyone has their own definition of a successful life, certain accomplishments are celebrated by the masses for the cultural impact left on the world. Join me as we shine a Historical Spotlight on George Foreman and the legacy he left on not only the boxing world, but on society as a whole.

The concept of sports dates back to 7000 BC and originally determined who was fit for military service. The first Olympic Games, held in Olympia in 776 BC, gradually expanded over time to include events like sprinting, javelin and discus throws, chariot racing, wrestling, and even boxing. Over time, participation has expanded to include women and other historically marginalized groups who were once excluded from competition. Join me as we explore the incredible contributions of Black Americans to sports and the significant struggles they’ve overcome to succeed.
