Justice Department rejects posthumous pardon bid for boxer linked to Great White Hope
The Justice Department will not process a posthumous pardon for Jack Johnson, the first black heavyweight champion jailed nearly a century ago over a relationship with a white woman. Pardons chief Ronald L. Rodgers said resources should aid those who can truly benefit, though Obama may still grant clemency if he chooses. Promoters of the pardon vow to press the issue, citing racism and historical record.
