Ali's training camp opens to the publicThe rustic Pennsylvania training camp where Muhammad Ali prepared for some of his most famous fights has undergone an elaborate restoration, opening to the public Saturday as a shrine to the heavyweight icon's life and career. He was a brave man inside the ring. But outside of the ring is where he had the most courage. He stood up to the corrupt federal government’s war in Vietnam. The weak-minded persecuted him, but he prevailed because he was right. Back in the day, and even now, not a fan of boxing...though I've always been a big fan of The Champ for being a TRUTH-teller and speaking his mind. Thank you Mr. Madden for helping to preserve the memory of a true American icon. Peace.
