Before O.J. Simpson’s polarizing murder trial in 1994, he was America’s most beloved and famous collegiate athlete. With his Chevrolet commercials in 1969, he became the first black athlete corporate pitchman, paving the way for stars like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods to represent brands on television. But when asked to join other black athletes in boycotting the 1968 Olympics, Simpson replied, “I’m not black, I’m O.J.” Ezra Edelman’s Oscar-nominated documentary, O.J.: Made in America, highlights the paradox between Simpson’s efforts to de-racialize himself and the African American icon he became.
