Stories of Ali: Deer Lake Audio
Built and used by Muhammad in the 1970s, Deer Lake presents a niche part of Muhammad’s story. Though it was a retreat for him and his core group, a place off the beaten path where he trained for all or nearly all of his fights between 1972 and 1980, it was also a space that anyone could enter, to take photographs, to meet the Champ, etc. This Stories of Ali program will offer insider looks into the camp itself and hopefully answer questions from first hand accounts from photographers Jeff Julian and Sonia Katchian, as well as from the new owner of the property, Mike Madden.
