The White House statement noted that Black wrote several biographies. It also said that while in prison he served as a tutor for 150 students. "He could not have been more gracious and quickly got to his point: he was granting me a full pardon that would 'Expunge the bad wrap you got,'" Black wrote, misspelling rap.
