Muhammad Ali was the greatest athlete of the 20th century, a towering figure in the world of sports and also a man whose legend and achievements stretched well beyond the boxing ring. He was a vocal opponent of the Vietnam War and a major symbol of black excellence as well as a symbol for American Muslims.
The photographic history of Ali’s athletic achievements and cultural impact are going to be flooding Twitter for the next few days. Suffice to say, he’s one of the few individuals where the story actually lives up to the hype. Again, he really was the greatest of all time, a true legend. And, like any true legend, he met Superman once.
