Five men are named in this glass negative from a camp associated with Jack Johnson, the first African American to hold the heavyweight boxing title, though the record does not say when the picture was taken. Johnson held the title from 1908 until 1915, and his training camps drew steady attention from newspapers and photographers. The Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied pictures to newspapers, made and distributed images like this one, and its names and captions were often recorded secondhand, so the identifications here remain unverified.
