Black Ink is the long overdue biography of Panama Al Brown, a boxer so unpopular, fans stormed the ring and nearly killed him in an attack that might be considered a hate crime today. Outside the ring, the leaders of the "Manly Art" were so determined not to have a gay boxing champion that they stripped him of his recognition, without an explanation. But Brown was too good, and eventually fought his way to become recognized as the first Latino world champion. In this riveting book, Jose Corpas makes sure Al Brown is never forgotten.

From the Back Cover

Black Ink is the long overdue biography of Panama Al Brown. This book covers his life from his early struggles growing up in Panama as the son of a former American slave, to his final days as a forgotten and homeless ex-champion found unconscious and near death on a cold street in New York City.

Jose Corpas invites readers to travel back in time as a patron in Parisian opium dens; as a participant of the Harlem Renaissance; and as a ringside spectator for one of the greatest comebacks in boxing history.

It's a story of a remarkable man and Hall of Fame fighter forced to overcome racism, homophobia, corruption, disease, drug addiction, and betrayal on his way to boxing history.
