Brooklyn Daily Eagle
(NY) dated Dec 11, 1927. This original newspaper contains an inside page 9" x 7" boxing cartoon portraying a
NEGR0 BOXER named "McVey" (Sam McVey) as a racial stereotype
.
Sam McVey or Sam McVea (May 17, 1884 – December 23, 1921) was a Hall of Fame heavyweight boxer who fought during the early 20th century. McVey ranked alongside Jack Johnson, Joe Jeanette, Sam Langford, and Harry Wills as the top black heavyweights of their generation. All of them, except Johnson, was denied a shot at the world heavyweight championship due to the color bar, which ironically was maintained by Johnson when he became the first black fighter to win the world heavyweight title. Despite being denied a title shot, McVea enjoyed a famed career that took him across the globe.
In 96 documented fights in at least 10 different countries, McVey only lost 16 bouts. His greatest wins include two victories over both Sam Langford and Harry Wills, which won him the World Colored Heavyweight Championship on two separate occasions, respectively. In his later, years he worked as a trainer and sparring partner for both black and white fighters training for important bouts.
