Pardon Jack Johnson

Rarely do I get excited about t-shirts, but this idea is too awesome not to notice.

This 4th of July marks the 100th anniversary of boxer Jack Johnson's victory in the “Fight of the Century,” against Jim Jeffries.

Johnson was the first African-American boxing champion. He was also a man of the ladies. One reporter asked him how he kept up such a constant stream of women, and he replied that he would simply "Eat jellied eels and think distant thoughts."
