FACEBOOK LIVE | MUHAMMAD ALI | PBS BOOKS
‘Champion of Service: Celebrating Muhammad Ali’ will feature reflections from individuals close to the late world heavyweight champion and an opportunity for viewers across the country to participate in The Greatest Give Back.
Registration is not required to view this program on Facebook Live.
Although Muhammad Ali is universally revered as he Greatest of All Time (or G.O.A.T.) for his exploits in the boxing ring, he also became a champion of humanity through his commitment to service outside the ring.
The full life and legacy of this global icon will be celebrated in a national virtual event at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2022, on the PBS Books Facebook page through the Harrison Library Facebook page.
Through a partnership led by PBS Books, USA TODAY and the Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville, the evening’s program will highlight the dedication to courage, generosity, kindness and compassion embodied by Muhammad Ali in recognition of his 80th birthday. Additional partners include the Louisville Courier Journal, Metro Louisville United Way, the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) and Kentucky Educational Television (KET).
