CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of Congress that John Arthur ‘‘Jack’’ 
Johnson should receive a posthumous pardon for the 
racially motivated conviction in 1913 that diminished 
the athletic, cultural, and historic significance of Jack 
Johnson and unduly tarnished his reputation. 
Whereas John Arthur ‘‘Jack’’ Johnson was a flamboyant, de-
fiant, and controversial figure in the history of the 
United States who challenged racial biases; 
Whereas Jack Johnson was born in Galveston, Texas, in 
1878 to parents who were former slaves;

the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and in 
Shanksville, Pennsylvania; 
Whereas the crewmembers of United Flight 175, American 
Flight 11, American Flight 77, and United Flight 93 
acted as first responders, reporting the first intelligence 
of a war the United States did not know it was fighting 
and sacrificing their own lives to protect the United 
States and the lives of countless others; 
Whereas ever since 9/11, pilots and flight attendants in the 
United States report to work with heightened responsibil-
ities as first responders and as the last line of defense 
in aviation security; and 
Whereas the bravery of the crewmembers 15 years ago and 
our crewmember heroes are prominent in the hearts and 
minds of the people of the United States: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress— 
(1) commits to never forget the service of avia-
tion’s first responders on that fateful day; and 
(2) will always seek to honor the sacrifice of 
those first responders.
