5	5	WHEREAS, March 31, 2009, marks the 131st anniversary of the
6	6	birth of Jack Johnson, a native of Galveston and the first African
7	7	American to win the world heavyweight boxing championship; and
8	8	WHEREAS, After gaining experience as a sparring partner,
9	9	Mr. Johnson began fighting in private clubs in and around
10	10	Galveston, and in 1897 he became a professional prizefighter; in
11	11	1903, he won the Negro heavyweight championship, and five years
12	12	later, in a victorious match in Australia, he claimed the world
13	13	heavyweight title; and
14	14	WHEREAS, Outraged by Mr. Johnson's triumph, numerous
15	15	commentators voiced the racial prejudice common in the early 1900s
16	16	and called for his defeat by a white boxer; eventually, a bout was
17	17	arranged with Jim Jeffries, a former heavyweight champion; on July
18	18	4, 1910, Mr. Johnson knocked out his foe in the 15th round to retain
19	19	his title; his reign as heavyweight champ extended for five years,
20	20	but his life underwent a major change in 1913, when he was convicted
21	21	on a contrived charge; to avoid a yearlong prison sentence, he fled
22	22	the country and settled in Europe; and
23	23	WHEREAS, Mr. Johnson was in Spain when the United States
24	24	entered World War I, and he became active in U.S. military
25	25	intelligence; his work helped to prevent German submarine crews
26	26	from landing on the Spanish coast; and
27	27	WHEREAS, After returning to the United States in 1920,
28	28	Mr. Johnson served his prison sentence and also fought in
29	29	exhibition matches, refereed fights, and worked with other boxers
30	30	as a manager and sometimes as a trainer; during World War II, he
31	31	again stepped forward to serve his country by encouraging citizens
32	32	to buy war bonds; in 1954, eight years after he died in an
33	33	automobile accident, he was inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame;
34	34	and
35	35	WHEREAS, In 1967, The Great White Hope, a play based loosely
36	36	on Mr. Johnson's life, premiered in Washington, D.C.; the following
37	37	year, the play moved to Broadway, and James Earl Jones and Jane
38	38	Alexander won Tony Awards for their performances in the leading
39	39	roles; the drama was made into a film in 1970; and
40	40	WHEREAS, An enormously gifted athlete, Mr. Johnson was
41	41	famous for his flawless boxing and near-perfect defense; he fought
42	42	in 113 matches and lost only 6; unbowed in the face of racism, he
43	43	exhibited great personal courage and, in times of national crisis,
44	44	signal patriotism; now, therefore, be it
45	45	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
46	46	Legislature hereby recognize March 31, 2009, as Jack Johnson Day at
47	47	the State Capitol in honor of this distinguished Texan and
48	48	exceptional athlete.
