New York Age Reports Mixed Race Boxing – 1914

WBAN received a report that there is an article from the NEW YORK AGE  dated April 16, 1914, giving some details about a mixed race boxing tournament involving 10 women.   The writer who sent this in to WBAN stated, “It makes me think there must have been more going on in Harlem with women, since the article presents the info matter-of-factly. I’ve looked at the this paper from 1908-1915 and seen nothing else related to women.”
