Джон Артур Джонсон — американский боксёр-профессионал, первый чернокожий чемпион мира в супертяжёлом весе.

В его честь в 1971 году Майлз Дэвис записал альбом «Tribute To Jack Johnson». В конце записи актёр Брок Питерс, изображая голос Джэка Джонсона, произносит: «Я — Джэк Джонсон, мировой чемпион в тяжёлом весе! И я чёрный!» Wikipedia

Джонсон, Джек: Цитаты на английском языке

“The search for the "white hope" not having been successful, prejudices were being piled up against me, and certain unfair persons, piqued because I was champion, decided if they could not get me one way they would another.”

As quoted in Introduction to "Knockout" at Unforgivable Blackness at PBS (2005) http://www.pbs.org/unforgivableblackness/knockout/

“There have been countless women in my life. They have participated in my triumphs and suffered with me in my moments of disappointment. They have inspired me to attainment and they have balked me; they have caused me joy and they have heaped misery upon me; they have been faithful to the utmost and they have been faithless; they have praised and loved me and they have hated and denounced me. Always, a woman has swayed me — sometimes many have demanded my attention at the same moment.”
