Muhammad Ali

With the rest of the world, we are mourning the loss of Muhammad Ali. Prof. Enid Trucios-Haynes shares her thoughts:

"The Muhammad Ali Institute for Peace & Justice at the University of Louisville mourns the loss of a transformative humanitarian who had the courage and conviction to make the world a better place.

"We remember him as he wished – as someone who helped people worldwide in their 'fight for freedom, justice and equality.'

"Our work will continue to be inspired by his lifelong commitment to these fundamental human values, including the pursuit of racial and social justice.

"We offer our heartfelt condolences to the Ali family and we grieve with our community for the loss of a transcendent civil rights and religious freedom icon and champion."
