William Penn Charter School

My William Penn Charter School days

Billy Cannon, who was born in Philadelphia, Mississippi in 1937, received a presidential pardon from President Donald Trump yesterday.

Cannon, who passed away in 2018, played college football at LSU from 1957-59. He's widely regarded as one of the best players in LSU history, winning a Heisman Trophy and a national championship while in Baton Rouge. After leaving LSU, Canon went on to have a lengthy professional career in the NFL.

After Canon retired from football, he became a dentist, but in 1983, he admitted to participating in a counterfeiting scheme, which resulted in a five-year prison sentence, of which he served two and a half years. After getting out, he long served as a dentist at Angola State Penitentiary.
