The Trials of Muhammad Ali
Cassius Clay, a brash boxer, shot to fame in the early 1960s, just as the Civil Rights movement was gaining traction in the United States. Muhammad Ali's transition into the spiritually enlightened heavyweight champion is legendary, but his religious epiphany also led to a protracted legal struggle with the United States government after he declined to participate in the Vietnam War. The perfect mix of race, religion, and politics that molded one of sports' most iconic figures is shown in this video.
