Black History Month: Muhammad Ali
Written by DJ Special Blend from Chicago on March 1, 2009
We do indeed realize that it is actually March 1st and February is officially over, but we’re gonna big-up this man anyway because, he is the Greatest!
6-ft, 3-inches of swiftness that floats like a butterfly, and stings like a bee.
Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. won an Olympic gold medal in boxing, then turned pro and completely changed sports and entertainment forever.
Not to mention the courage he displayed in taking a standing for his beliefs.
Not to mention being stripped of his heavyweight title, only to regain it back not once… but twice.
He “shook up the world” yo!
This time in mentioning Muhammad Ali, we wanna big him up for the relationship he developed with Howard Cosell in front of the camera. The world had seen nothing like it prior.
Gone were the days of standing in one place with one’s arms at their side in front of the camera. It was time to get clever with it.
Muhammad Ali was clever with it, and he bagged it all up… and he don’t stop!
