Q: What is the full name of Joe Louis, ``the Brown Bomber''?
A: Joe Louis Barrow was born in Chambers County, Ala., on May 13, 1914. His father, Munroe, died when Joe was 4 years old. In the 1930s, amateur boxing was extremely popular and is said to have overshadowed many high school sports. Although Joe's mother, Lillie, objected to her son boxing, she gave him her blessing and told him to do the best he could. The story goes that when he filled out the forms for one of his first amateur fights, there wasn't enough room for his last name, so he fought as ``Joe Louis.'' Joe Louis Barrow died in 1981.
