Today in Labor History July 4, 1910: African-American boxer Jack Johnson knocked out white boxer Jim Jeffries in the 15th round, leading to race riots throughout the U.S. 11 separate riots occurred in NYC, alone. There were riots in 50 cities, including New York, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Houston, New Orleans, Atlanta, and St. Louis. At least 20 people died in these riots. Johnson, who was also known as the Galveston Giant, became the first black World Heavyweight champion in 1908, which made him unpopular with the predominantly white audience of boxing. He held that title from 1908-1915 and quickly became the most famous black man of the era. The racism against him was so intense that many, including socialist writer Jack London, called for a Great White Hope to fight him and take away his title. Jeffries, a former heavyweight world champ, came out of retirement specifically to prove “that a white man is better than a Negro.” Johnson’s victory in this fight earned him $65,000 ($2.1 million in today’s dollars).

With his winnings, Johnson opened a multi-racial restaurant and nightclub, Club Deluxe, which he ran with his white wife. Because of this, the authorities arrested him for violating the Mann act (transporting women across state lines for immoral purposes). President Trump pardoned him in 2018, something Reagan, both Bushes and even Obama refused to do. Johnson fled the country to avoid arrest, but continued boxing abroad. Eventually he turned himself in and served time at Leavenworth Prison.

Mexican boxer Julio César Chávez Jr. has been arrested for overstaying his visa and will be deported to Mexico, where he faces organized crime charges, U.S. federal officials say. The former middleweight champion lost a match against influencer Jake Paul in Anaheim, Calif., on June 28. The Department of Homeland Security says officials determined on June 27 that Chávez should be arrested — it has not explained the delay. Prior to the Paul fight, Chávez spoke with the Los Angeles Times about the U.S. government's clampdown on immigrants. “I don’t understand the situation — why so much violence? There are a lot of good people, and you’re giving the community an example of violence,” Chávez said. “After everything that’s happened, I wouldn’t want to be deported.” Here's more from @AssociatedPress.

The first all-British oral contraceptive is available from today. An ever-increasing number of married women are turning to this method of birth control. Other methods are only 70% reliable. Experiments with “the pill” were first carried out eight years ago in Puerto Rico. It is hoped that a birth control pill for married men will not be too far away.

Et voilà le résultat !!!

J'ai fabriqué un kangourou automate qui fait de la boxe 😁

Posé sur la remorque vélo que j'avais fabriquée il y a quelques années, le mouvement de l'automate est entraîné par une transmission par chaîne qui part de la roue de la remorque. Donc en avançant, ça active le mouvement.

Pour les déplacements, il suffisait de débrayer.

Surprise que ça fonctionne et contente du résultat, malheureusement ça n'a pas marché bien longtemps 😅
J'ai quand même passé plusieurs jours dessus, mais ça valait le coup !

En tout cas, ce "char" de la marche des fiertés de 2024 n'est pas passé inaperçu !

Pour cette année, je bricole un tout petit truc moins chronophage, parce qu'à l'approche des EuroGames, je n'ai plus trop de temps.
