Muhammad Ali will be remembered as one of the most glorious heavyweight boxers and one of the most influential men in American history. A huge talent in the ring, Ali won fifty-six of sixty-one fights in a career spanning over two decades. An expansive personality, he was known as much for his convictions as his athletic acumen, particularly for his articulation of racial disparities in the United States and his refusal to be inducted into the military during the Vietnam War when he said, "My conscience won't let me go shoot my brother, or some darker people, some poor, hungry people in the mud, for big powerful America, and shoot them for what?" Today, as we remember the legend, we recommend watching the following films which capture Muhammad Ali in all his grace and strength.
