From his childhood in the segregated South to his final fight with Parkinson''s disease, Muhammad Ali never backed down. He was banned from boxing during his prime because he refused to fight in Vietnam. He became a symbol of the antiwar movement -- and a defender of civil rights. As "The Greatest," he was a boxer of undeniable talent and courage. He took the world by storm -- only Ali could "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee!"

Muhammad Ali was an Olympic gold medalist, former heavyweight champion, and one of the most influential people of all time.

Newbery Honour author Walter Dean Myer presents the story of Ali's childhood, his rise as a champion, his politics, and his battle against Parkinson's disease. Packed with dramatic photos! It is the perfect choice for both young adult sports fans and fans of the author himself.
