The Soul of a Butterfly #1528

Muhammad Ali was a magnetically charismatic heavyweight boxing champion turned humanitarian.

Wikipedia tells us that he was nicknamed “The Greatest” and that “he is regarded as one of the most significant sports figures of the 20th century and is often regarded as the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time. In 1999, he was named Sportsman of the Century by Sports Illustrated and the Sports Personality of the Century by the BBC.”

I recently read his autobiography, The Soul of a Butterfly, after one of the Black members in our community graciously encouraged me to explore more Black authors and share their stories and perspectives while broadening my own perspective. (Thank you again, Miata!)
