## Transcript

[ BLANK_AUDIO ] [ MUSIC ] Cassius Clay of Chicago. This will be no contest. This will be a total annihilation. I'm heavy weight champ of the world and I don't have to talk no more and say I'm the greatest because people tell me I'm the greatest. Would your next fight be billed as Cassius Clay or Muhammad Ali? Muhammad Ali Arrogant, boastful, sometimes as delicate. Be ready cuz I'm coming to get you. Why are you standing over him, Mohammad? I'm trying to tell the bum to get up and fight. [ UNKNOWN ] [ UNKNOWN ] Heavyweight champion Cassius Clay refused to take the oath of induction into the army.

The black Muslim who is also known as Muhammad Ali was immediately stripped of his title by the World Boxing Association. Clay insisted that he is an ordained minister and should be exempt. The champ is sincere in his religious [ INAUDIBLE ] Beliefs. He believes in his religion and his stand is based wholly on that .

>> I said, Mother, how come everything white? I said, why is Jesus white with blonde hair and blue eyes? Why is the Lord's Supper all white men? The black man and the black woman, should unite every good in them for the upliftment of the so- called American Negro -

>> One of the greatest athletes of all time Muhammad Ali produced some of America's most lasting sports memories. From winning the gold medal at the 1960 Summer Olympics to carrying the Olympic torch at At the 1996 Summer Olympics. As the first three time heavyweight boxing champion of the world, he thrilled, entertained and inspired us. His deep commitment to equal justice and peace has touched people around the world.
