  • Muhammad Ali Biography
    Muhammad Ali Biography “I’m not the greatest; I’m the double greatest. Not only do I knock ’em out, I pick the round. “ – Muhammad Ali Short Biography Muhammad Ali Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr. on January 17, 1942) is a retired American boxer. In 1999, Ali was crowned “Sportsman of the Century” by Sports Illustrated. He won the World Heavyweight Boxing championship three times, and won the North American Boxing Federation championship as well as an Olympic gold medal. Ali was born in Louisville, Kentucky. He was named after his father, Cassius Marcellus Clay, Sr., (who was named for the 19th century abolitionist and politician Cassius Clay). Ali later changed his name after joining the Nation of Islam and subsequently converted to Sunni Islam in 1975. Early boxing career Standing at 6’3″ (1.91 m), Ali had a highly unorthodox style for a heavyweight boxer. Rather than the normal boxing style of carrying the hands high to defend the face, he instead relied on his ability to avoid a punch. In Louisville, October 29, 1960, Cassius Clay won his first professional fight. He won a six-round decision over Tunney Hunsaker, who was the police chief of Fayetteville, West Virginia. From 1960 to 1963, the young fighter amassed a record of 19-0, with 15 knockouts. He defeated such boxers as Tony Esperti, Jim Robinson, Donnie Fleeman, Alonzo Johnson, George Logan, Willi Besmanoff, Lamar Clark (who had won his previous 40 bouts by knockout), Doug Jones, and Henry Cooper. Among Clay’s victories were versus Sonny Banks (who knocked him down during the bout), Alejandro Lavorante, and the aged Archie Moore (a boxing legend who had fought over 200 previous fights, and who had been Clay’s trainer prior to Angelo Dundee).

  • 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).

  • Folley Family
    Folley Family Maggie Folley moved from Dallas, Texas, to Chandler in 1942. Her family included a son, Zora Jr., and two daughters, Mary Belle, and Mae Francis. Zora, born in 1931 in Texas, grew up in the Southside neighborhood, attending the segregated Ocotillo School. He joined the Army in 1948, where he received his GED and served in Korea. Always athletic, Zora picked up his interest in boxing during a tournament in the Army. He met Joella Arbuckle while on leave and visiting family at home. They courted, married in 1953, and began a family — eventually raising nine children. He began serious boxing training in Phoenix, and entered professional boxing in 1955, working under trainer Al Fenn and managed by Bill Swift. His oldest son, Zora III, recalls the first time he saw his father fight: “I was kind of in awe just to see him up there throwing punches with another individual, and I couldn’t stand to see him get hit … He had a pretty good jab and a right hand as well. He would set you up with this, and then, when you least expect it, he would come with the right hand, and hopefully, if he hit you right, it was lights out. He prized himself on good defense. Dad, he believed in hitting and not getting hit.” Zora and Joella raised their children in a home on Colorado Street, built in 1952. Zora III remembers his mother, who passed away in 2011, as a quiet and loving mother, and a deeply religious woman who “raised us up in church whether we liked it or not.” The kids enjoyed the Elgin Park across the street (later renamed N.J.
