President Donald Trump is considering a pardon for the first black heavyweight boxing champion, Jack Johnson, after speaking with one of his supporters Sylvester Stallone.
“Sylvester Stallone called me with the story of heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson. His trials and tribulations were great, his life complex and controversial,” Trump wrote on Twitter on Saturday. “Others have looked at this over the years, most thought it would be done, but yes, I am considering a Full Pardon!”
