Some very good photos and history.

and it was a fairly decent one, http://abcnews.go.com/US/muhammad-ali-dies-greatest-boxer-dead-74/story?id=18391211 They included one of his last statements, a slam against Trump.
I remember how he pissed off the Jim Crow south when he won gold in 1960. I was a kid there and I've been a fan since then.

(135,425 posts)7. This is a very nice retrospective--it includes footage of past interviews and
bio-pieces.
I'm just gutted that he's gone. I was hoping he'd pull out of the spiral and come back. He was only 74.

(111,466 posts)8. Me too, but I know what end stage Parkinson's is like
I'm amazed that he was able to stand until just before he went into the hospital.
There have been few heroes in my lifetime. He was one.
