Conversation The Greatest, over TIME When Muhammad Ali frst appeared on the cover of TIME in 1963, he was still Cassius Clay. Although he had won an Olympic gold medal, there were few signs he would become, in many ways, a bigger legend outside of the ring. He was the subject of three more covers over the next four decades. Here is an excerpt from that 1963 cover story: DREAMS CAME EASY IN LOUISVILLE’S WEST END. “Why can’t I be rich?” Cassius once asked his father. His father touched him on one pecan-colored hand and said, “Look there. That’s why you can’t be rich.” March 22, 1963 March 8, 1971 But at 12, Cassius got his “wheel.” It was a shiny $60 bicycle, and he proudly pedaled of to a fair at the Columbia Gym downtown. When the show was over, the bike was gone. In tears, Cassius sought out policeman Joe Martin. “If I fnd the kid ‘IF I FIND who stole my bike,” he said, “I’ll whup him.” Martin told him that he’d better THE KID learn how to box before he went out WHO STOLE looking for a fght, and ofered to let him MY BIKE, join the boxing classes he ran in the gym. Cassius never did get his bike back. I’LL WHUP But six weeks later, he got in a ring with HIM.’ another 12-year-old, a white boy, and beat him. Then he knew everything was —ALI, TO POLICEMAN going to be all right. The salesmen in the JOE MARTIN Cadillac showroom downtown got a big Feb. 27, 1978 Jan. 28, 2002 laugh at the little Negro, face pressed against the glass, gazing wistfully at the COMMEMORATIVE glittering cars inside. “All Cassius talked EDITION about was money—turning pro,” says Martin. “At frst, This week’s cover story is SILVERMAN BARTON I didn’t encourage him. A year later, though, you could written by Robert Lipsyte see that little smart-aleck had a lot of potential.” (far right), an award-winning author and veteran New Cassius skipped rope for hours to toughen his York Times journalist who legs, failed away at a heavy bag to put power into has covered Ali throughout his punches, sparred with his own mirrored image his career. Lipsyte has also written a 96-page, softcover book for TIME, to quicken his timing and refexes.

  • Muhammad Speaks and Muhammad Ali Intersections of the Nation of Islam and Sport in the 1960S Maureen Smith
    10 Muhammad Speaks and Muhammad Ali Intersections of the Nation of Islam and sport in the 1960s Maureen Smith America, more than any other country, offers our people opportunities to engage in sports and play, which cause delinquency, murder, theft, and other forms of wicked and immoral crimes. This is due to this country’s display of filthy temptations in this world of sport and play.1 Introduction With the advent of its first issue, Muhammad Speaks established itself as the voice of the Nation of Islam’s Messenger, Elijah Muhammad. Dedicated to ‘Freedom, Justice, and Equality for the Black Man’, the first issue was printed in October 1961 and the newspaper’s circulation increased at a rate comparable to the discontent of African Americans in the USA during the freedom struggle of the civil rights movement.2 Advocating freedom and separation from whites, the newspaper served a critical role in promoting racial pride, as well as ministering the beliefs and teachings of Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam. Some of these teachings explored issues surrounding a range of athletic pursuits, and initially the Nation rejected the ‘evils’ of professional sport and games. Yet, through the pages of Muhammad Speaks it is possible to identify a shift in the Nation of Islam’s position on sport, as the organisation’s leadership came to recognise the political utility that an association with a prominent Muslim athlete, such as Muhammad Ali, could offer their movement. Once Ali’s use to the Nation of Islam was exhausted, the leaders once again resumed their opposition to professional sport.

June 20, am Updated June 22, am. The legendary boxer and activist stood up against racism throughout his life, but Muhammad Ali Jr. God loves everyone — he never singled anyone out. The guy resisted arrest, the officer was doing his job, but he used the wrong tactic. He agrees with President Trump that Antifa fomented violence during the Floyd protests and should be labeled a terrorist organization. Muhammad Ali should all get what they deserve. I agree with the peaceful protests, but the Antifa, they need to kill everyone in that thing. Muhammad Ali never wanted it peaceful. I would take them Muhammad Ali out. A father of two, Ali, 47, lives in Hallandale Beach, Florida, and has struggled to make ends meet in recent years working as Muhammad Ali landscape gardener and construction worker. Junior was the fourth-born to first wife Belinda Boyd, who converted to Islam and now goes by Khalilah Ali. Ali blames his stepmom for the estrangement. Despite strong tensions between the black community and the Chicago PD — especially after year-old Laquan McDonald was shot dead in by a cop later Muhammad Ali of murder — Ali says he was never singled out by cops Muhammad Ali his skin color, and defends them against charges of institutional racism. Ali was released both times. It starts racial things to happen; I hate that.

My uncle, being a father, was my intro to boxing and boxing books. I was first exposed to Muhammad Ali as a young child watching some old bands in my uncle's house. I remember thinking how he could be the greatest when he lost so many times. Of course, the undefeated champion beats several times champion every day of the week. I remember watching Ali light the Olympic flame in Atlanta as a 12-year-old and wondering why this guy was a hero, why he loved so much. Then I read The King of the World: The Rise of Muhammad Ali and the American Hero (1998) by David Remnick. Its been more than 15 years since I read this book, shortly after it was first published. As anyone who has read any Remnick will know, they are written with a style and imagination that describes all their work. It's a great book. It was one of the first books I read that put any athlete in the cultural context in which they acted.

  • JACK JOHNSON, MUHAMMAD All, and THE
    ABSTRACT HISTORY WOOD, AUGUSTUS C. B.A. MOREHOUSE COLLEGE, 2007 THE SIXTH FINGER: JACK JOHNSON, MUHAMMAD ALl, AND THE UNCONSCIOUS RACE HERO IN SPORTS Committee Chair: Richard A. Morton, Ph.D. Thesis dated December 2012 This study examines both the mentality of black race heroes in American sporting history and the surrounding atmospheric influences on personality, mentality, masculinity, and global perspective on said heroes, using the case studies of iconic boxers Jack Johnson and Muhammad Au as the primary focus. This study was based on the premise that both boxers initiated a conscious effort of racial pride, black agency, and global hegemony through their consistent success both inside and outside the ring. The researcher found that in almost blind adoration, African Americans chose two unconscious, self-righteous, and raceless blacks who utilized their gifted abilities as boxers to only capture full masculinity in the forms of wealth and power. In response to their considerable inferior treatment at the hands of the majority, blacks actively sought dominant representations of success and defiance of the norms to carry their dreams of black pride. However, both Jack Johnson and Muhammad Ali repeatedly rejected their anointed statuses of “race men” for the chance at true wealth and power in the commercialization and exploitation 1 of their masculinity. In addition, the background environments of both figures are essential to the true analysis of the mentality and perception of the boxers. The conclusions drawn from the finding suggest that both individuals rejected their hometown communities’ ideals of agency and activism and instead opted to embrace the more lucrative ideals of independence (Johnson and Galveston) and interdependence (Ali and Louisville).
