Muhammad Ali

Since he 'first↗ fought his 'way↗ to 'public↗ at'tention, he’s been↗ among the most 'charis'matic↗ and ∨ polarizing 'cultural ∨ figures on the 'world’s↗ 'stage↘. In a 'turbulent 'time, he 'fearlessly fused 'sports, ∨ politics, 'race↗, and re'ligion↘. 'Stripped↗ of his 'title↗ and 'exiled↗ from the 'ring, he became a'symbol of 'principled de'fiance↘. In an 'epic 'comeback, he 'beat the 'odds, his 'stunning↗ 'victories tran'scending the 'sport↗ it'self↘. 'This↗ is the 'story↗ of ∨ Muhammad A'li↘. On the 'night↗ of Ju'ly↗ '19th, '1996, the 'whole↗ 'world↗ watches↗, as '54-year-old Mu'hammad A'li 'sets the 'cauldron a'blaze at the O'lympic Games↗ in At'lanta↘. The 'sight↗ of the O'lympic 'gold↗ 'medalist and 'three↗-time 'heavy↗-weight 'boxing↗ 'champion / de'fying↗ 'Parkinson’s di'sease↗ to 'light↗ the O'lympic ∨ flame / 'warms↗ 'public↗ af'fection /for a 'man↗ who 'three↗ 'decades↗ ∨ earlier / was a 'racial and po'litical↗ 'lightning rod↘.
