Yeah.... granting a pardon for a guy who's been dead for over 60 years is really gonna make things alright isn't it? :roll:
Let it stand, its not gonna do much for old Jack since he is and has been gone for a long time, it should be left as a reminder of what went on during the "Jim Crow" era.
Considering Johnson's conviction was racialy motivated, I was surpised that congress had approved the pardon, but Obama didn't.
It needs to happen on July 4 -- the 100-year anniversary of the Johnson/Jeffries bout. Would be perfect timing.
