In Memoriam: The Black Scholar Interviews Muhammad Ali (1970)

June 7, 2016

1.8 cover

Volume 1, Issue 8, 1970
Black Culture

Much will be said about Muhammad Ali in the coming weeks and months; already the floodgates are open. Many will claim him, too, as will we—he was a member of our board from 1974-1989. Rather than say too much, we will let him speak. So, from our archives we present a powerful interview from 1970. It is a classic, reflecting the passion and modes of analysis of its time but engaging topics of vital interest today: racism and gender, the role of Black celebrity, and the politics of pugilism.

We offer it as a gift to all our readers and supporters, just as it was a gift to us from someone who managed to outperform the promise of his own title, “The Greatest.”
