most often repeated verses in the world me all right ok well thank you very much well we got a lot of ground to cover yes sir yes i see we can do talking about muhammad ali the greatest so  black america he was an inspiration to muslims and as you know he shook up the boxing world so he had an impact on the male psyche i was say and specially do in a time when the african american community was being frustrated you know in his participation in receiving civil rights human rights so he came along at a time when there was great turmoil came along at a time when the vietnam war was going on and he took his platform as a sports figure to to demonstrate the feelings of a large portion of the american population in terms of not participating in the war the war  wrong and also in demanding human rights for the african american community very very good and i've got several pictures that you have here and if you want to discuss maybe one of the first ones there and say who's in it and all right so we start with the pitches and i'll start with this one right here this is muhammad ali and joe fraser so we don't have  in the first what was in madison square garden right yeah right that was the first one right and you know that fight mohammad ali ended up losing that was his first fight to lose but real nice loaf a beautiful beautiful it a thing about it is that muhammad ali was also a businessman and he understood how to bring revenue to the tickets for ticket sales right so he would talk plenty trash to you know and he talks so much trash you know he got personal who got personal with joe phrases family because his son was talking about he would go to school and kids would make fun of you know because of what mohammed  was saying about his dad so it was almost like a grudge match so to speak but now if you if you watch that you know  up i don't know how he got up because like he said he had a hard nose for the ancestors i don't know how he got mad because he got tagged square so it was it was kind of an emotional victory ali his style was a heavyweight was like a light weight and i think so he took some of the things that he saw sugar ray do and put it in his arsenal i guess he wasn't really a knockout  punch guy but he would hit you with so many that it be multiplied and then there you go and then with the bra there was a story mohamed i leave visited nursing home back in the day and this kind of how they said no no no just let them think that it's joe louis you know and you know because there's a make the guy really happy so that that was the kind of person he was you know he he talked up for the human rights and civil rights of african american people but on a personal level you know he treated people you know very good it's kind it's you know it's art and it's a beautiful story that's a beautiful story located next pitcher  is working so for that yeah so this next pitcher is  mohammad ali and the great malcolm x here less let me see if i can bring this down yes he has a good shot right here and by giants you know and one of the things as i recall in the movie ali where they had  he was going to announce his name to his name change right you know but he didn't want to now so right away and then when the people in his camp realized that he was talking to malcolm x everybody got upset she was very emotional about it because she remembered her dad malcolm x who got assassinated but he also she also remembered you know that mohammed ali were good friends they kind muhammad ali and it also reminded her of her dad but she spoke very well and she really tried to hold it together shielded she held it together because she could i mean there's so many of there's so many connections with muhammad ali you know mom all these people and you know then the thing between him and howard cosell i mean there's just there's just so many dynamics and then him in billy crystal the comedian actor billy promoting and what it was was between jewish and palestinian youth and i think it was dealing with music coming together to deal with them in music or something and so mohammad ali went over and so billy crystal's and i got the most famous muslim in the world to come over and to promote this and from what i understand it's still going on today and i think it involves music i could be wrong but if you look at get a chance look at the memorial again he talks about mohammed ali would always call billy crystal his little brother you know so i mean and you talk to people who've met mohammad ali everybody has a story if they spend any time and you know it's just  was elected leader of the nation of islam and some of the things he did right away he opened up then the nation of islam to everybody before we just closed basically to african americans and what he did he brought to clean us up so we had to get cleaned up you know our of our slaves thinking ways and so forth and there would be a large mohammad did and his teacher did for art mohammed and what does give you a brief example he just uses reverse line and what he did use reverse psychology said you could guys say that the black people are evil or bad if flip the switch and said you know the white man is the devil you know so when m m w muhammad came into leadership he brought in the universal islam where you know who met god is one and humanity is one and this is one of them one of the main sources where mohammad ali you know became even more universal in his thinking yes he did yes he did and you could tell in his conversation yeah yeah he became much more universal in his thinking excuse me and because of that  people loved him before he made the change you know because of his brashness right as a bonus right the fact that he backed up everything he said in a ring you know so people were intimate by that but also because of his oh yeah even more lies and there was a reason for that we were you know we had self hate you know so you know you just we reversed it and you know i said hey you know the black man is god the white man's devil and but there was a there was a time for that and then there was a time to come out of that to come and spread our wings to the universal thing a quick story i want to say before i forget i did i met my mom only twice first i was in chicago at a restaurant and he took a picture with me and brother qualify for moving here from iran that we took a picture a very very gracious and so forth then the next time i met him was at the university of washington and he was there to speak so celebrity you don't want to ask a question or seem stupid so nobody asked a question so of course i had asked the question and i should have phrased it a different way i should have phrased what do you think about black people using self defense but i didn't use that where i said what do you think about black people using violence to gain their freedom so you just keep on for about one second you decide that i'd be like you trying to whip me so that was in the question and answer period i was it nobody roll royce was parked outside all the brawls yes yes so we came in and everybody was sitting on the floor and so i just kind of took an observation post embracing attitude and especially with the kids and i think that's important and i want to kind of add this i know these two people are not equal but i think they share similar frame was not not not that's not this yeah yeah and he just made itself available and made this self extra available to make sure he's got the pretty and everything so i just want to bring that up in terms of there are people out there i brought something back for you personally because i know you are a man that collects iconic items you know for different events and things in this with one of the i don't even know how to describe it you know one of the you know our organization you know that was frowned upon but had a place in american history african american history self direction and we owed or debt to this man and his work you know for getting us to to that particular position one more one more pitch this it when you're talking about yeah so there's andrew the fifty thousand dollars to get these people out of jail so large mama said will come back tomorrow and we'll have that for you and so he had fifty thousand dollars to get some of the civil rights we parted you you wouldn't you know know about the story yeah and there's a lot of history so we got about like just a little bit less than two minutes any closing remarks you like to make yeah i want to personally let me see those pitches i want to personally give you these pitches ok wise thank you very much
