I dreamed of my father last night (regarding Muhammad Ali)

10. All the old men

Times were that a man was judged on who was the toughest and who could kick the most butt. I guess to a degree it is still that way in many places, but back then it was the religion.

Came then this black man who was the world champ. Not only could he kick anyone's butt, he was as sweet as pecan pie. Men had to think twice when they considered themselves as the champ. If they did, they now knew they were not. It was a humbling experience for many.

Thank you, Sir Ali, for the lessons you taught America.
