He was so impressed with the hotel he immortalized it in “The Great Gatsby” as the backdrop for Tom and Daisy Buchanan’s wedding. Get a tour of this historic hotel that is still considered a landmark to the “golden era.” Internationally renowned as one of America's foremost regional companies, and the state theatre of Kentucky, Actors Theatre of Louisville presents a diverse array of stage plays.

You can find BBC beers in five regional states. TOUR #10 WHISKEY, BEER & WINE While most people think of bourbon when they think Kentucky, wine and beer are also making a splash in Bourbon Country. This tour will take you to a distillery, a brewery and a winery – all within two blocks of each other. Peerless Distillery is a family-owned distillery that produces a premium, small-batch bourbon. Just down the street is Old 502 Winery. Old 502 is Kentucky’s only urban winery. Using grapes grown by local Kentucky farmers, all the wine is made in downtown Louisville.

Voulgaris A Thesis in the Field of History for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University November 2016 © November 2016, Panos John Voulgaris Abstract The rhetoric and life of Muhammad Ali greatly influenced the advancement of African Americans. How did the words of Ali impact the development of black America in the twentieth century? What role does Ali hold in history? Ali was a supremely talented artist in the boxing ring, but he was also acutely aware of his cultural significance. The essential question that must be answered is how Ali went from being one of the most reviled people in white America to an icon of humanitarianism for all people. He sought knowledge through personal experience and human interaction and was profoundly influenced by his own upbringing in the throes of Louisville’s Jim Crow segregation.

  • Annual Report 2015
    ANNUAL REPORT 2015 4 Muhammad Ali Center AS WE LOOK BACK ACROSS 10 YEARS OF PROGRESS Dear Friends, The year 2015 marked the tenth anniversary of the opening of the Muhammad Ali Center and the realization of a vision Muhammad and I shared to inspire people to be their best, believe in their dreams and pursue those dreams with passion and conviction. We also envisioned the Center to be one that called upon Muhammad’s core principles to encourage visitors to become good global citizens and carry on Muhammad’s legacy of finding common ground with others, while actively pursuing humanitarian opportunities to create a better world for all people. Like the “Lighthouse” Muhammad often drew, we want the Muhammad Ali Center to be a personal symbol of global understanding, that welcomes everyone to share in Muhammad’s vision of hope for building a better world, united under our common Annual Report 2015 banner of humanity. In this report, you will read about our humanitarian programs and activities. You’ll discover how these initiatives are inspired by Muhammad’s six core principles: Confidence, Conviction, Dedication, Giving, Respect and Spirituality. We feel a tremendous debt of gratitude to all who have shared our vision and have supported us over the past ten years. The great citizens of Louisville and Kentucky helped open the Muhammad Ali Center and we will always be grateful. The friendship and support of good friends and dedicated fans around the world have helped make the Muhammad Ali Center a global gathering place that has welcomed guests from more than 5 100 countries.

  • Field Trip Policies and Procedures for Teachers and Chaperones
    Field Trip Policies and Procedures For Teachers and Chaperones Thank you for choosing the Muhammad Ali Center for your student group tour! The following information will help you have a fun and educational visit with us. The Muhammad Ali Center relies on the teachers and chaperones to help ensure that students tour the Center in a safe and respectful manner. We require a one chaperone per six students ratio. Teachers and chaperones should expect to assist in facilitating a fun, educational, and safe experience for your students. Pre-Visit Age and Chaperone Requirements: Begin recruiting chaperones as soon as you book your visit. Make sure chaperones are aware that they will be actively involved in the Muhammad Ali Center experience. The Muhammad Ali Center exhibits are recommended for students 4th grade and older (unless participating in a particular program). For younger children, chaperones should expect that they will need to interpret the information contained within the exhibits. Our Exhibit Guide for Chaperones and Teachers will help with this process. Please divide students into small groups of 10 or less (unless otherwise specified), each with a chaperone to supervise and facilitate learning within the exhibits. Arrival Check-In & Payment: When checking in at our Admissions Desk (located on Level 2 of the Center), please have an accurate count of students and chaperones as well as your payment prepared ahead of time. Please gather an accurate headcount of total students and total adults (teachers and chaperones) before leaving your school. When you arrive to the Ali Center the lead teacher will report the numbers to the Ali Center Educator.
