Growing up in the South, surrounded by racial bigotry and discrimination, Ali fought not just for a living, but also for respect and rewards far more precious than money or glory. He was named Sportsman of the Century by Sports Illustrated and the BBC. Ali redefined what it meant to be an athlete by giving hope to millions around the world and inspiring us all to fight for what is important to us. This is a portrait of Muhammad Ali only he could render: sports legend, anti-war advocate, showman, goodwill ambassador, fighter, lover, poet, provocateur, and a force to be reckoned with.
