John Arthur Johnson, aka Jack Johnson

Summary

John Arthur Johnson, also known as Jack Johnson, received a pardon on May 24, 2018, from President Donald Trump for a violation of the White Slave Traffic Act. The pardon addressed a federal conviction related to this statute, which historically criminalized interstate transportation of women for immoral purposes. This clemency action marked a posthumous recognition in Johnson's case, as he had died decades prior to the grant of pardon.
