Washington - President Bill Clinton has pardoned a black American who refused military service and spent four decades in exile after his local draft board, in a racial snub, refused to call him "mister".
Mr Preston King, a professor of political philosophy at the University of Lancaster in Britain and father of British MP Ms Oona King, was granted a "full and unconditional pardon" on his 1961 draft evasion conviction, Clinton said in the clemency papers.
