  • The Praxis of a Protagonist!
    Aspects – poetry, prose, essays and anecdotes – By Arnold Bathersfield THE PRAXIS OF A PROTAGONIST! Ingenious Muhammad Ali – born Cassius Marcellus Clay January 17, 1942 in Louisville Kentucky died Friday June 3, 2016. He was more than a golden glover (1959,1960), and gold medal recipient (1960). He was a crafty, prophetic, iconic, innovative, complex prize fighter, who shaped a universal world view for justice, respect, and tolerance, while amplifying his disdain for racism, white supremacy, domination, oppression, bigotry, militarization, war, and imperialism. As a pragmatic and principled humanist he managed his skills with integrity, devotion, nobility and dignity in a sport that purports “brutality and blood”(civilization of barbarism). He announced in 1964 that he was a member of the Nation of Islam, and identified Africa as his ancestral homeland. His Business Manager Herbert Muhammad once said “Invite Muhammad Ali to fight and your country will share the world spotlight.” Muhammad Ali used his wits, vision, poetry, rhythm, rhyme, dexterity, oratory and sloganeering to taunt his opponents while acquiring attention to issues as he played and set his stage to grab the media: toying with Howard Cosell, his hometown Louisville, Berrien Springs, Michigan, Arizona or an “arena” – The world was his platform and he used it with fortitude, resiliency and forthrightness. He never side-stepped issues – even when he was stripped of his boxing title in 1967 and unable to practice his profession or leave the country, due to his conviction for draft evasion and sentenced to five years in prison, which was reversed in June 1971 (8-0) by the U.S.

    i Stadiums of Status: Civic Development, Race, and the Business of Sports in Atlanta, Georgia, 1966-2019 By Joseph Loughran Senior Honors Thesis History University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill May 1, 2020 Approved: ___________________________________ Dr. Matthew Andrews, Thesis Advisor Dr. William Sturkey, Reader i Acknowledgements I could not have completed this thesis without the overwhelming support from my mother and father. Ever since I broached the idea of writing a thesis in spring 2019, they not only supported me, but guided me through the tough times in order to create this project. From bouncing ideas off you to using your encouragement to keep pushing forward, I cannot thank the both of you enough. I would also like to thank my advisor, Dr. Matthew Andrews, for his constant support, guidance, and advice over the last year. Rather than simply giving feedback or instructions on different parts of my thesis, our meetings would turn into conversations, feeding off a mutual love for learning about how sports impact history. While Dr. Andrews was an advisor for this past year, he will be a friend for life. Thank you to Dr. Michelle King as well, as her guidance throughout the year as the teacher for our thesis class was invaluable. Thank you for putting up with our nonsense and shepherding us throughout this process, Dr. King. This project was supported by the Tom and Elizabeth Long Excellence Fund for Honors administered by Honors Carolina, as well as The Michel L. and Matthew L. Boyatt Award for Research in History administered by the Department of History at UNC-Chapel Hill.

Now Frazier and Yank Durham, his trainer-manager are trying desperately to get a return fight with George Foreman, who stopped Joe in two rounds at Kingston, Jamaica, on January 22. A Foreman-Frazier fight is one of the very few major attractions open for competition among the leading pro­ moters, all of whom are based in the United States. Efforts are being made in England to pull Joe Bugmer and Danny McAlinden into the Big Fight ranks but the impression exists in well informed circles that neither qualifies. Putting together the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle, which were scattered to the winds by the Foreman victory over Frazier and the Ken Norton defeat of Ali, is a task which has eligible promoters stymied. Heavyweight champion George Foreman gets warm welcome from students at E. 0.
