Ali: A Tribute

The New-York Historical Society commemorates the passing of Muhammad Ali with a special installation to celebrate his life and achievements. On view beginning June 10, Ali: A Tribute will feature his robe and gloves, signed by Ali, recently donated to New-York Historical as part of the Time Inc. Archive, as well as the photograph The Greatest, taken in 1967 by George Kalinsky. Three-time heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali (1942–2016) was one of the greatest athletes of our time—a superlative that the brash dynamo would himself proclaim. Born Cassius Clay in Louisville, Kentucky, the boxer surprised everyone when he defied seven-to-one odds to beat reigning champion Sonny Liston in 1964.
