Johnson was born on March 31, 1878, the third child of nine born to Henry and Tina Johnson, former slaves who worked service jobs as a janitor and a dishwasher. His father had served as a civilian teamster of the Union's 38th Colored Infantry. He was described by his son as the "most perfect physical specimen that he had ever seen", although Henry had been left with an atrophied right leg from his service in the American Civil War.

Growing up in Galveston, Texas, Johnson attended five years of school. As a young man, Johnson was frail, though, like all of his siblings, he was expected to work.

Although Johnson grew up in the South, he said that segregation was not an issue in the somewhat secluded city of Galveston, as everyone living in the 12th Ward was poor and went through the same struggles. Johnson remembers growing up with a "gang" of white boys, in which he never felt victimized or excluded. Remembering his childhood, Johnson said: "As I grew up, the white boys were my friends and my pals. I ate with them, played with them and slept at their homes. Their mothers gave me cookies, and I ate at their tables. No one ever taught me that white men were superior to me."

Jack Johnson's mother, Tina was a huge influence in Jack's life. When Jack was younger, he was known as a coward and his sister, Lucy would protect him. After Jack came home bruised and crying, his mom warned him that if he were to get beaten at school, then she would whip him worse at home. Her method was to scare him and for him to learn the lesson that he needed to protect himself. The lesson was received by Jack, as he never lost a fight to a schoolboy again.

After Johnson quit school, he began a job working at the local docks. He made several other attempts at working other jobs around town until one day he made his way to Dallas, finding work at the race track exercising horses. Jack stuck with this job until he found a new apprenticeship with a carriage painter by the name of Walter Lewis. Lewis enjoyed watching friends spar, and Johnson began to learn how to box. Johnson later declared that it was thanks to Lewis that he became a boxer.

Herman Bernau. Johnson eventually saved enough money to buy boxing gloves, sparring every chance he got.

At one point, Johnson was arrested for brawling with a man named Davie Pearson, a "grown and toughened" man who accused Johnson of turning him in to the police over a game of craps. When both of them were released from jail, they met at the docks, and Johnson beat Pearson before a large crowd. Johnson then fought in a summer boxing league against a man named John "Must Have It" Lee. Because prizefighting was illegal in Texas, the fight was broken up and moved to the beach, where Johnson won his first fight and a prize of one dollar and fifty cents.

The groundnut pyramids, iconic symbols of Nigeria's agricultural prosperity, were the brainchild of Alhassan Dantata, a distinguished groundnut trader.

Born in 1877 into an Angalawa trading family in Bebeji, now part of Kano State
Dantata was destined for a life in commerce. His parents were prominent caravan leaders and traders, known as Shugaban Ayari and Ayarin Yan Kasuwa, respectively.

In 1919, Dantata arrived in Kano and quickly established himself as a formidable force In 5 years, he became a top groundnut trader, supplying most of the Royal Niger Company's needs.

His innovative groundnut storage created the famous pyramids, serving as both storage and a visual tribute to the region's agricultural & economic strength in the early 20th century.
