His wife Lonnie once said that Muhammad belongs to the world. Muhammad Ali was the People's Champion, one of the most recognized and beloved individuals on the face of the earth, co-founder of the Muhammad Ali Center, and an inspiration to all. He proved that one person can change the world. He will be remembered for his love for all people, his athleticism, his humanitarian deeds, his social justice, and perhaps mostly...his courage in and outside the ring.
Muhammad transcended athleticism to become a symbol of larger social issues. It is the totality of his life and the core principles that have guided him that make him on of the most beloved symbols of peace and well-being in our nation and the world. A Commemorative MUHAMMAD ALI Coin reminds all of us to be the greatest we can be.
