How Did You Come to Understand That Period in Your Life?
Mohammed ali was banned from boxing for three and a half years because of his stand on the vietnam war. During that time, he started speaking to white audiences and college campuses. He is forced out of boxing by his conviction but then wins back his title. Yeardry: Ali remains a hero to some segment of the black population. And i think he begins to change minds because people realize how conscious that was. It wasn't, oops, i raised my fist. Maybe i shouldn't have done that. Or, i'm glad that but i've sacrificed this. The supreme court agrees that he should not go to prison. This is a really great story.
