The Greatest

The Muhammad Ali Center: Get inspired at the official Ali Center Web site to learn more about boxer Muhammad Ali, who is not only thought of as the greatest athlete of the 20th century but is also called the United Nations Messenger of Peace.

The center itself is located in Louisville, Kentucky (Ali's birthplace), and its mission is to preserve and share the legacy and ideals of Muhammad Ali, to promote respect, hope and understanding and to encourage adults and children everywhere to be as great as they can be. www.alicenter.org
