	There was no Joe Louis behind any facade. He was the same slowspoken, considerate person in a close social group as he was to the vast crowds that surged in on him to clutch his every word when he was at the apogee of the boxing world. A simple dignity was characteristic of Louis, who never pretended that his sharecropper origins in Alabama were more than humble.     Arlington National Cemetary Website "Where valor proudly sleeps"
