Muhammad AliMy mama told me I was already in a hurry as a child. I even had measles and chicken pox at the same time
Muhammad AliWhy should they ask me to put on a uniform and go ten thousand miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights?
Muhammad AliI believe in Allah and in peace. I don't try to move into white neighborhoods... I donโt want to marry a white woman. I was baptized when I was 12, but I didnโt know what I was doing. Iโm not a Christian anymore. I know where Iโm going and I know the truth and I donโt have to be what you want me to be. Iโm free to be what I want.
Muhammad AliI barely got out of school, I got out of school, mainly, because I was a champ, and I actually didn't pass. I won't name the teachers that put me through, but I want. If I was not a Muslim, or a follower of the Honorable Elijah Mohammed I couldn't talk to somebody for two minutes. I believe I can hold my own as an intelligent conversation, but it all come from the Honorable Elijah Mohammed.
