The House of Reps, in a voice vote, recommended that Jack Johnson be pardoned for his 1913 Mann Act conviction - a racist embarrassment to American history. "He was a victim of the times and we need to set the record straight -- clear his name -- and recognize him for his groundbreaking contribution to the sport of boxing," said Rep Peter King, R-N.Y., author of the resolution. The measure now goes to the Senate, where Republican presidential nominee John McCain, a senator from Arizona, has a companion resolution.
Great timing....McCain will do anything to leech a couple votes off of boxing fans...especially African American fans. If you let your love for a sport dictate who you vote for in a Presidential election, you shouldn't have the right to vote IMO.
doen't matter. another fixed election headed your way... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-55298778264345748
