It's widely acknowledged that Johnson was unfairly charged and convicted, and an example of the racial injustice common to the times. You guys worry too much about what the "left " will say, especially since you all claim to not read or watch "leftist" media outlets. It's not always what you are told it is.

I agree.

I guess my only question is why did it take so long? I'm guessing no one really knew about it.

I wonder if Stallone asked the other Presidents (since he became famous with Rocky) to do it.

For a time, he was unfairly criticized by African-Americans like Booker T. Washington for his lavish lifestyle and not being a positive influence in the African-American community. Ironically, marrying and dating white women was likely part of this. Also, after winning the heavyweight title he refused to fight other black fighters for several years. That's all I can figure.
