“Fortunately for all of us, the pursuit
of sports has resulted in the advancement of understanding of different
people throughout the world. Sport unites people to a common cause, regardless
of cultural, racial, political, sociological or religious differences.
Ball fields, ice rinks, boxing rings and sports courts provide a common
ground for all who engage. Sport gives us another pair of eyes in which
to view our opponents. It teaches us to respect skill and hail accomplishments.
It encourages us to be better at our own chosen pursuits. It demands that
we continually re-evaluate our abilities and ourselves and shift the bar
higher for our teammates and ourselves. Sport has a way of enriching the
lives of all who participate, whether it is player, coach, or spectator.
It forces us to find the greatness within.”
Muhammad Ali
August 2006 Founder of Muhammad Ali Center Louisville, Kentucky The mission of the Muhammad Ali Center
is to preserve and share the legacy and ideals of Muhammad Ali, to promote
respect, hope and understanding and to inspire adults and children everywhere
to be as great as they can be.
The Muhammad Ali Center is both
a destination site and an international education and cultural center
guided by the ideals of its visionary founder, Muhammad Ali. Much more
than a place that tells the story of one man’s journey, the Ali
Center reaches beyond its physical walls to fulfill its mission, carry
on Muhammad’s work and to inspire the greatness within ourselves.
Located in Ali’s hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, the 93,000 sq.
ft. Center includes 2-1/2 levels of exhibits, public programming, two
changing exhibit galleries, meeting and event space and a retail store.
