The Eighth Round

The Eighth Round[1] by Zeke Wilson (II) is a non-fiction literary work that documents a precedent-setting court battle about a form of racism that had previously not been legally defined: same-race discrimination.

It is noteworthy that 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.
