President Trump on Thursday pardoned the late heavyweight boxer Jack Johnson, who was convicted in the early 1900s of transporting a woman across state lines.
Actor Sylvester Stallone, who advocated for Johnson’s pardon, joined Trump in the Oval Office on Thursday for the announcement. Other past heavyweight champions, including Lennox Lewis and Deontay Wilder, also attended the event.
