The Hammer, African American Ethnic Sports Hall of Fame

Fred Williamson started his film career right after Jim Brown. He started making his own films and portraying the tough guy that he really is. Most of his films involved Jim Kelly, Jim Brown, Richard Roundtree, Ron O'Neal and the beautiful Pam Grier. Three the hard way, is one such movie that brings together the three tough guys. He was a great football player and an exellent movie producer. Fred you are known worldwide. Keep up the good work. We appreciate your talents.

I'm 44 years old and I grew up watching Fred "Da Hammer" Williamson films and was in awe with each and everyone of them. Specifically, the 70's films during the so-called Black Exploitation Era. I use to think I was him when I was a youngster. Three names jump out at me during the super

70's as the super bad brothers. Fred Williamson,

Jim Kelly and Jim Brown. Also was Richard Roundtree and Ron O'Neal.
