EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic photo print, taken on May 16th, 1964, we witness the legendary World Heavyweight Boxing Champion Cassius Clay embarking on a triumphant ride through the vibrant streets of Accra, Ghana. Seated in an open sports car, Clay exudes confidence and charisma as he waves to adoring fans who have gathered to catch a glimpse of their hero. The car itself becomes a symbol of Clay's transformation and newfound identity. Adorned with slogans bearing his chosen name "Muhammad Ali" as part of his affiliation with the Black Muslim movement, it serves as a powerful statement against racial injustice and inequality that plagued society at that time. This photograph captures not only the physical journey of Muhammad Ali during his tour of Africa but also represents his spiritual and ideological evolution. It showcases his determination to use his fame and success in boxing as a platform for social change and empowerment. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder of Muhammad Ali's enduring legacy – not just as one of the greatest athletes in history but also as an influential figure who fearlessly fought for justice both inside and outside the ring.
