"Ali's Staff" Granite Monument

"Ali's Staff" Granite Monument

After the closure of Muhammad Ali's training camp in Deer Lake, Pennsylvania, in 1980, his longtime friend and trainer Drew "Bundini" Brown commissioned this granite monument with all of the names of the people who lived and worked at the training camp. The monument was placed at the training camp near one of the cabins, then later moved to Ali's farm in Michigan, before ultimately making its way to the Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville, Kentucky. The monument sits on the fifth floor of the museum.
