Bidding Farewell to Muhammed Ali

As the world bid farewell today to a legendary athlete, the High Representative for the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations pays his respects to Muhammed Ali as a true champion whose greatness transcends sportsmanship. Muhammed Ali stood tall and fought for his race and his Muslim faith. He spoke up for what he believed was right. In 1978, he came to the UN Special Committee against Apartheid with a message of peace and spirituality. In the mid-sixties, he embraced Islam as his faith, changed his name and proclaimed himself a Minister of the religion of Islam.
