Stories of Ali: Ali and the Nation Audio

Stories of Ali: Ali and the Nation, the first of a series of programs, will have two approaches and understandings of the Nation of Islam: to explore Ali's early religious conversion and his choice to devote much of his life to his faith. Dr. Brandon McCormack, as a professor of Pan-African Studies at the University of Louisville, offers an educational and historical perspective. Donald Lassere, president and CEO of the Muhammad Ali Center, grew up on the South Side of Chicago and has memories of the Nation of Islam selling bean pies and serving as protectors. Through his role at the Center, Donald will bring a unique perspective of the Louisville Lip. His stories will be of a personal nature, based on memories, and professional knowledge.
