(Picture is of Lee Klein and Muhammad Ali on KFI’s website. L. K has good taste in who he kisses. Ali place in history is cemented as one of those rare people willing to make immense personal sacrifices for principle. He was stripped of his World Heavyweight Championship in 1967 rather than violate the tenants of his religion by submitting to the federal government’s demand that he be drafted. Convicted in 1967 of draft evasion and sentenced to five years in prison, the U.S. Supreme Court threw out his conviction in 1971 saying the government did not take his religious beliefs into account when it drafted him.
Two memorable quotes that Ali made during his ordeal are “I ain’t got no quarrel with them Vietcong.” and, “No Vietcong ever called me nigger.”
