St. Petersburg Division: Muhammad Ali a TRUE Hero!

If we are lucky in our lifetime we get to see heroism at its finest. Muhammad Ali was one of those people who stood alone against the world for what he believed was right. I would hope that I might have the courage he had but I am not sure I would. Muhammad Ali, with his stand against the Vietnam war AND his willingness to put his entire professional life on the line for his principals will always stand as an example of courage, commitment, honor and tenacity. We have to remember this man was the heavy weight boxing champion of the world. He put this on the line. He did not have a plan B. He did not have a lot of important supporters in his profession or in his culture. He was not only courageous but intelligent. He was a great fighter, brilliant promoter and truly a hero. He stature stands along side of Nelson Mandela for courage when he stood alone and forgotten. I am so proud of Muhammad Ali. I truly hope there is a special place in heaven for people like that. God Bless you Muhammad Ali
