Description
Real photo postcards of Jack Johnson during his exile in Tijuana, Mexico. The first image, dated in the negative May 19, 1920, shows Johnson standing with his wife and three other people in front of a wooden building in Tijuana. The second image shows Johnson sporting a gun holster with pistol, standing with several men (two of whom are mounted on horses) next to a car stopped on the side of a road near Tijuana. This latter image purportedly depicts Johnson about to re-enter the United States to surrender to federal agents
