Topic selection post

I choose Muhammad Ali for my NHD project because I am interesting in what he has done and all that he has gone through throughout his life. He is important to history because without his efforts, some people would give up on life but because on him they did not. Muhammad Ali is still the most recognizable man on earth. Over forty years after he burst onto the scene as a gold- medal winner at the 1960 Rome Olympics, muhammad Ali remains a magical figure, known and loved throughout the world. For this week's research, I found an article at his official website. And I also found a book that tells a lot about his life and what he has gone through. I will read and summarize it for next week.

Great topic Brittany! Did you know that Muhammed Ali has a strong connection with Philadelphia. There is a barber shop in North Philly where he regularly went to get his hair cut. You might be able to interview the barbers to get an inside view of Muhammed Ali. Also, you should view the documentary "When We Were Kings!" This is one of my favorite films of all time. It is all about Ali and his fight against George Forman.
