  • The People's Champion O
    ABSTRACT WILLIAMS, SHAWN L. B.A. UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH, 1989 M.A. CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, 1991 “The People’s Champion”: Folk Heroism and the Oral Artistry of Muhammad Au. Advisor: Professor David F. Dorsey Dissertation dated July 2000 Long after a career that was as much marred by criticism as marked by accomplishment, Muhammad Au receives considerable public acclaim for his athletic accomplishments and his humanitarianism. However, no scholarly attention has been given to this man as a literary force who, through the power of his word, impacted the consciousness of this nation and world. This dissertation examines Ali as an artist operating within the context of African and African American oral literary traditions and will explore the impact of his oratory on the sociopolitical consciousness of this country. The analysis of the oral literature of 1 Muhammad Au, which consists of his lectures, interviews, and poetry, will involve an assessment of those aspects that make it a manifestation of the verbal culture of Africa and African America. Moreover, the study illustrates the degree to which the rhetoric and verse reflects both African American national consciousness (i.e., black nationalism) and African folkioric tradition. In his creation of himself Au utilizes traditional African and African American mythoforms like the trickster, the Badman, and the culture hero. In this respect, Muhammad Au is the only athlete to emerge as an Afrocentric cultural hero. This subject encompasses matter of literature, African American studies, speech communications, and popular culture. 2 “THE PEOPLE’S CHAMPION”: FOLK HEROISM AND THE ORAL ARTISTRY OF MUHAMMAD ALl A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF ARTS IN THE HUMANTITIES BY SHAWN LAMAR WILLIAMS DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH ATLANTA, GEORGIA JULY 2000 © 2000 SHAWN L.
