Notecard - Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali

Robert Shetterly, acrylic on panel ©2003.

"If I thought going to war would bring freedom and equality to twenty-two million of my people, they wouldn't have to draft me. I'd join tomorrow. But I either have to obey the laws of the land or the laws of Allah. I have nothing to lose by standing up and following my beliefs. We've been in jail for four hundred years."
