Charting the Territories Podcast Companion Piece - Episode 12

-
Every month, Jon Boucher and I create a podcast that discusses a wide range of topics related to what is covered on this blog. I thought it would be helpful to create a 'companion piece' that goes along with each episode. We often reference web sites, books, YouTube videos, etc., on the podcast, and this companion piece will provide links to many of those materials so that you can see what Jon & I are discussing.

Links will open in a new window. Images from Norm Kietzer publications used with permission from Arcadian Vanguard.


This Companion Piece goes with Episode 12 of the podcast, which can be found at http://chartingthepodcast.com

A Dog and a King: Looking at The Junkyard Dog's experiences in the wake of desegregation and assassination

A heretofore seemingly forgotten story in the early life of Sylvester Ritter (The Junkyard Dog) may offer some insight into the personality of the man who later transcended race to become the first Black wrestler indisputably pushed as the top babyface of a major pro wrestling territory in the South. The story has nothing to do with wrestling, though if you view professional wrestling in the territorial era as a sort of morality play based on real-life struggles & issues and you look at the role Junkyard Dog played as an extension of that, then it has everything to do with it.
