His trials and tribulations were great, his life complex and controversial.

quote:

Born on March 31, 1878, in Galveston, Texas, Johnson became a rising star in the realms of boxing. He won the Texas State Middleweight title as a professional athlete, and later he became the World Colored Heavyweight Championship between 1903-1908. But his biggest prize came on December 26, 1908, when he defeated Tommy Burns for the World Heavyweight Championship. He defeated the defending champion in 14 rounds until authorities had to intervene and stop the bout.

His rise occurred in the midst of the Jim Crow era, where the lynching of black men was all too common. Boxing businesspeople were hoping to find the "Great White Hope" to defeat the black boxer. Former world heavyweight champion James J. Jeffries was capable of beating Johnson in Havana, Cuba, on April 1915 in the 26th round, the New York Post reported.

But his relationships with white women made him a notorious man at the time. In 1913, he was accused of transporting a white woman for "immoral purposes" according to The Chicago Tribune. Persecutors cited the Mann Act, a federal law that sought to prevent the trafficking of women for prostitution. An all-white jury found him guilty, and Johnson was sentenced to a year in prison.

To date, his criminal record has not been cleared.

In Message to Trump, Europe and Mexico Announce Trade Pact

WASHINGTON — The European Union and Mexico on Saturday announced a major update to their existing free trade pact signed nearly two decades ago, a development that will allow almost all goods, including agricultural products, to move between Europe and Mexico duty-free.

The deal, which has yet to be formally signed, is expected to increase trade in dairy, pork, services, digital goods and medicines between the economies. It will also give Mexico greater access to an advanced consumer market, as negotiations with the Trump administration over the modernization of the North American Free Trade Agreement still appear to be on uncertain ground.

And it sends a message to Mr. Trump that some of America’s closest trading partners are moving ahead with deals of their own — potentially leaving American exporters on the losing end in foreign markets.

In its announcement, Mexico said the agreement would help modernize its existing commercial relationship.

Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European Commission, said in a statement that “trade can and should be a win-win process and today’s agreement shows just that.” He added, “With this agreement, Mexico joins Canada, Japan and Singapore in the growing list of partners willing to work with the E.U. in defending open, fair and rules-based trade.”

The European Union and Mexico said that they had reached an agreement in principle on the most important elements of the agreement, with some technical details yet to be resolved. They are aiming to finalize it by year’s end, after which it must be ratified by the European Parliament and Mexican Senate.

The fake claim seems to have first appeared in public in a Wikipedia biography of Pompeo, which was changed anonymously in December 2016. Pompeo has never repeated it himself, but he and the CIA have never corrected the prominent error.

The Los Angeles Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the New Yorker reported incorrectly last month that Pompeo was an Army officer who served in the 1991 Gulf War. South Carolina Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy cited his Gulf War service in an April 12 letter expressing his support for Pompeo's nomination as Secretary of State, and Florida senator Marco Rubio referred to his service in the Gulf in a Senate session in January last year.

Donald Trump may have chosen not to attend Barbara Bush’s funeral on Saturday, but social media users still found a way to talk about him in his absence.

After the president’s wife Melania Trump was spotted smiling and sharing a laugh with Barack Obama before the service in Houston, it didn’t take long before social media users began to joke about how even though she was at a funeral, she appeared to be having a good time away from her husband.

“Melania looks happier at a funeral than she has in ages. Wouldn’t you too if you went from being with Donald every day to sitting next to Barack?” wrote one social media user.

One of Hillary Clinton’s aides Philippe Reines added, “Obama is a funny guy, but that’s a woman craving distance from a monster being reminded what dignity looks like.”

Eh ja, dat was bij mij ietsje anders ... althans, dat wil zeggen ... tijdens de plechtigheid is lachen geen gemeengoed, maar vooraf of achteraf een geintje, ook tijdens het zittend wachten op de plechtigheid in een dergelijke setting is denk ik niet ongewoon, zeker niet aangezien zowel Obama als Melania Trump haar niet of nauwelijks kenden (Obama zal haar zeker wel gekend hebben, over Melania ben ik minder zeker).

Almost everyone I’ve talked to says, ‘We’re going to move to Houston.’ What I’m hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality.

And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this, this is working very well for them.
