Muhammad Ali a Different Side Muhammad Ali A Different Side July 20 – Aug 1 2015 A Unique Exhibition showing Ali through the lenses of some of the world’s top photographers and the brushes of a few top artists “He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life” Muhammad Ali Gallery Different with a reputation for putting on innovative and exciting exhibitions is delighted to host this exhibition which shows a ‘different’ side to Ali. Situated in the vibrant gallery district of Fitzrovia in the heart of London’s west end, the gallery has 2,000 square feet over two floors of a grade II listed building allowing space to show the photographs in the light an spacious ground floor, and to screen films in the more intimate lower ground floor space. Curator and Photographer Christina Jansen spent two weeks with Ali in 1986 and has been working for the past four years on this exhibition which brings together leading world artists and photographers. After first presenting the project at 2012 Olympics, the exhibition has grown and is now ready to be brought into central London Participating Photographers and Artists - The list of participants boasts some of the world’s best known photographers: Carl Fischer, Terry O'Neil, Sonia Katchian, Chris Smith, Neil Leiffer, Michael Gaffney, Neil Kenlock, Christina Jansen, Graham Wood, Chris Gollon, Roberto Robanne, and Ron Chadwick. We are also in negotiation with a number of other world renowned photographers . The ‘public’ Ali is the three- times world heavyweight champion, self-proclaimed "The Greatest". He was never less than entertaining as a fighter. There were his pre-fight insults to opponents delivered in rhyming couplets, his unorthodox fighting style - which he described as "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" - and his homespun, inspirational views on life. What is less known is that for the last 25 years, despite suffering increasing physical disability associated with Parkinson's Syndrome, Ali has worked tirelessly for the humanitarian causes he believes in, including relief of poverty, education, adoption, race relations, and encouraging people of all races to understand and respect each other. He has helped to provide 232 million meals to those suffering food poverty, and has hand- delivered food and medical supplies to needy communities in Asia, Africa and North and South America. He is the international ambassador of Jubilee 2000, a global organization dedicated to relieving debt in developing nations. Exhibition Profile • Muhammad Ali has a universal appeal.

  • Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory Honors Legacies of Muhammad Ali
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory Honors Legacies of Muhammad Ali and Hank Aaron as Civil Rights Heroes Powerful Mural Debuts Tuesday, June 27 Louisville, KY – June 26th, 2017 - Muhammad Ali once called Hank Aaron, “The only man I idolize more than myself.” These two titans of the American sports scene have much in common as heroes who endured racism and faced down challenges with conviction. An original art installation at Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory entitled, Ali & Aaron: United in The Fight, explores the historic role both athletes played in the fight for civil rights, and inspires guests to examine their own convictions and beliefs. The stirring mural places Ali and Aaron in the context of the Civil Rights movement, starting in the 1950s and continuing to current day. Other figures and events depicted in the mural include protest marches and sit-ins, victims of the 1963 Alabama church bombing, slain NAACP leader Medgar Evers, Louisville activist Anne Braden, and U.S. Representative John Lewis. The monumental piece is 10-feet tall and 30- feet wide, and was painted by Louisville artist, Victor Sweatt. It will be on display through October 8. The exhibition is an interactive experience for guests, who are encouraged to affirm their own convictions by answering the questions, “What beliefs do you go to bat for?” and “What freedoms do you fight for?” Guests can share their written answers by posting them on a wall in the gallery, which becomes an ever-changing part of the exhibition. “I’ve always felt a responsibility to use my baseball fame to better the lives of all people.

Since Clay grows up in a region where most of the black people live, he began to suffer racism from a young age. In 1955, 14-year-old black teenager Emmett Till had been killed by whites, but her killers were not sentenced to the desired charge. So this incident was quite profoundly influenced him on racism. Clay started boxing at the age of 12. In his first major exam, he defeated Ronnie O'Keefe who was amateur like him in a boxing program called Tomorrow’s Champion. Clay said after this match, “I’ll be the best of all time.” Having started a tight preparation after his first success in amateur career life, Clay won Golden Gloves which was the biggest title of amateur boxing at the age of 14. He kept this performance and defeated all his competitors, so he was eligible to represent the United States in 1960 Rome Olympics. On September 5, 1960, he became the Olympic champion by defeating Polish 1Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi, Ahmet Keleşoğlu Eğitim Fakültesi, Sosyal Bilgiler Anabilim Dalı. e-mail: [email protected] 2 Ahmet ASLAN, Uşak Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi, Sosyal Bilgiler Öğretmenliği 4.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Muhammad Ali Unfiltered by Muhammad Ali Recalling Muhammad Ali – His Life, Impact and Influence on His Daughter Maryum
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Muhammad Ali Unfiltered by Muhammad Ali Recalling Muhammad Ali – His life, impact and influence on his daughter Maryum. Days before Ramadan, a deeply spiritual month, Maryum “May May” Ali buries a man whom the splintered world collectively mourns. That the two coincide during such vitriolic times seems an extraordinary coincidence. The loss of Muhammad Ali – the only globally celebrated black and Muslim athlete – becomes a necessary paradigm for the intolerant present. “ [My father] looked at his religion and the inequalities in the world and he saw himself being equal to every other African-American or downtrodden person,” Ali’s eldest daughter, Maryum, reflects a week after her famous father’s burial and televised memorial. Indeed the legendary boxer’s draw was his stentorian voice that confronted injustice and represented his beliefs on the public platform. He was the quintessential alpha male, his daughter recalls. “There was not a wave of energy that went against him,” she adds. His well-documented life attests to how defiantly Ali charted his own course. That confidence to stand for something earned him the love and respect of the people who saw themselves in him. “I am them and they are me,” he once told his daughter. The poignancy of his words within the context of his deeds is what made him The People’s Champ. Even in death, his connection with people was palpable. Though relatively obscure in the public eye, Ali’s daughter isn’t much different. She too sees herself in her community and uses her platform to help at-risk youth.
