The Monument to Joe Louis, known also as "The Fist", is a memorial to the boxer at Detroit's Hart Plaza. Dedicated on October 16, 1986, the sculpture, commissioned by Sports Illustrated magazine〔http://detroit1701.org/Joe%20Louis%20Fist.html〕 from the Mexican-American sculptor Robert Graham, is a arm with a fisted hand suspended by a pyramidal framework. It represents the power of his punch both inside and outside the ring. Because of his efforts to fight Jim Crow laws, the fist was symbolically aimed toward racial injustice.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fist of a Champion - Detroit's Monument to Joe Louis )〕 Graham referred to the sculpture as a "battering ram". The sculpture was vandalized by two Caucasian-American males in 2004, who covered it in white paint and left a sign which read, "Courtesy of Fighting Whities".〔 Graham responded that the piece was "working" if it aroused passion.〔 In 2013, art dealer and art historian Eric Ian Hornak Spoutz was quoted in the Detroit News stating that the value of the sculpture is between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000.〔Hodges, Michael.
