Quote of the day

“I am America. I am the part you won't recognize. But get used to me. Black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my goals, my own; get used to me.”-- Muhammad Ali

HAPPY  70th birthday, Muhammad Ali!

My idol, my hero.

And, as the quote hints, my admiration has absolutely nothing to do with boxing.

Love Ali.

True of more than one black athlete, I suppose, that has done well in the US.

Still the TRUTH.

I thought the world had lost Ali a few weeks ago.
