Johnson was born on March 31, 1878, the third child of nine born to Henry and Tina Johnson, former slaves who worked service jobs as a janitor and a dishwasher. His father had served as a civilian teamster of the Union's 38th Colored Infantry. He was described by his son as the "most perfect physical specimen that he had ever seen", although Henry had been left with an atrophied right leg from his service in the American Civil War.

I remember this guy, he used to come to my spiritual center back then in the 1900s to collect holy water. He survived the American civil war and became a boxing champion. My prayers is what made him successful. This I have seen. 34 Likes 2 Shares |
