Louisville, KY is the place where a young Cassius Clay turned his ambitions into the years of training and grit that resulted in him becoming not only a World Heavyweight Champion boxer and Olympic Gold Medalist, but an American icon who struggled with many in his generation against the racial divides of the 50’s and 60’s.
