Muhammad Ali
In this unit, kids come to appreciate Muhammad Ali as an athlete, an activist, a statesman, and a man of principle. Here, readers follow a journey through Ali’s life, beginning when he was a youngster named Cassius Clay whose bike had been stolen. Reporting the theft to a police officer led Cassius to discover boxing, and set him on a course that would bring him fame and a public platform.
Along the way, kids discover when and why Cassius Clay changed his name to Muhammad Ali and how he used his name and his platform to protest injustice and live his principles, whether doing so involved standing strong against the Vietnam War or helping to negotiate the release of American hostages in Iraq.
Future linguists will enjoy discovering all the ways Ali used language to bring attention to himself and his opponents. Those fascinated with modern history will want to delve into Ali’s link to world events beyond Vietnam and Iraq, while sports aficionados will enjoy learning about Ali’s connection to the phrase “GOAT” (as in Greatest of All Time). And everyone will find lots to learn from the six core principles that guided Ali throughout his life and kept him in the ring for so long.
