Muhammad Ali Museum

This is me in front of the Muhammad Ali Center. The Muhammad Ali Center is a museum and cultural center that was built as a tribute to the famous American boxer, Muhammad Ali.

Muhammad Ali was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1942. He won a gold medal in the Olympics in 1960. Because he was known for being kind of a smart aleck when he was a young man, he earned the nickname, "The Louisville Lip."

Ali is considered to be the greatest boxer of all time. He won 54 of his 61 boxing matches over the course of his career.

In 1999, he was declared "Kentucky Athlete of the Century."

When he retired from boxing, he went on to promote peace and education. He earned a Presidential Medal of Freedom award for his work, and he has been a UN Goodwill Ambassador.
