Trump pardons first Black heavyweight champion and you can thank Sylvester Stallone

Breaking news: Donald Trump has just granted a full posthumous pardon to Jack Jackson, the first Black heavyweight champion who in 1912 was convicted of violating the “Manns Act” by bringing his white wife to another state before being married. Jackson was married 3 times and all of his wives were White women. Many people had asked Barack Obama when he was President to give Mr.Jackson a pardon but he didn’t. Back in April 2018 Trump tweeted he had received a call from actor and boxer Sylvester Stallone and it made him consider pardoning Mr.Jackson.
