（单词翻译）

 Eventually Jack1 Johnson is convicted of violating the Mann Act on May 14th, 1913. He is slapped with 366 days' sentence in prison and a one-thousand-dollar fine. so he decently has the book thrown at him for crime that he didn't commit. and then subsequently white America almost erases2 him from popular memory because of the fact that he beat white men in the ring, but also because he had relationships with white women, and this was seen as something that was much too volatile3 to be remembered as part of the popular American memory.

  despite setbacks, Jack Johnson continued to fight well into his fifties. His legacy4 inspired black trail blazers such as Jackie Robinson and Mohammad  Ali, who crossed racial lines to achieve greatness. But Jack Johnson also changed the American history by challenging society's view on sex.
  Water cooler lowdown. Even today the Mann Act remains5 on the books. It was also used to prosecute6 Chuck Berry, Charley Chaplin, and Charles Manson. Jack Johnson retired7 with 73 wins and 13 losses. By then to mix race and sex, Johnson's bravery outside the ring helped change the American history.
  Dating back to our first settlers, sex has had a major impact on American history, from our founding fathers to our greatest aviators and everyone in between, there is no question that our American history has been shaped by its sex pioneers
