The first NWA Heavyweight Champion was George Hackenschmidt who won the  title from Tom Jenkins in a tournament title. But that was in 1904 and most people don't realize it was around that long ago. There were many champs but it wasnt until 1937 that a recognizable name that you might know held it...Lou Thesz.\n\nI have a comprehensive title history from 2003 back if you have any further disputes.

Maybe Henry McDonald.  Here's the quote and the link is in sources\n"In 1911 another African-American, Henry McDonald, began a six-year career as running back with the Rochester Jeffersons. 1919 saw the beginning of the sport's first governing organization, the American Professional Football Association (APFA), which was replaced three years later by the National Football League. Both leagues signed Black players. Robert "Rube" Marshall played tight end for the Rock Island Independents from 1919 to 1921, and Frederick "Fritz" Pollard had three years of action with the Akron Pros. Pollard became the first African-American professional head coach when he was signed by Akron in 1920. He went on to coach at Milwaukee (1922), Hammond (1923-1924), and again at Akron in 1925-1926. "
