Abstract
The paper reveals that Muhammad Ali was dubbed "The Greatest of All Time" in his field of boxing. The paper asserts that he is an iconic figure that has been revered by many over the years, therefore, "The Greatest Museum" centered on the life and work of Muhammad Ali would be a fitting gesture. The paper relates that even though it has been over forty years since Ali was first recognized by the world in the Rome Olympics of 1960 winning the gold medal, he is "still the most recognizable man on earth" ("The Greatest").

This paper examines the book "Clay v. United States: Muhammad Ali Objects to War", written by Suzanne Freedman. It outlines reasons Ali refused to be drafted, the actual court process and the impact the courts decision had on the nation.

"The problem with the United States is that it always seems to become involved in events in which it has no place to be in. The Government seems to stick their nose where it doesn't belong all too often. For many Americans one of these cases happened when the U.S. became involved in the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War was the first war that the U.S. was involved in that the general public did not agree to support or condemn it. The book Clay v. United States: Muhammad Ali Objects to War, written by Suzanne Freedman, describes one of the problems created by this "split" in the American public, the draft. For the entirety of the war there was always skeptics about what the U.S. was actually doing there. The Selective Service Act outraged many of Americans because of the opinion of the war. To show their disapproval of the war many refused to be drafted. Cassius Clay, a.k.a. Muhammad Ali, was one of these people but for different reasons."

Abstract
According to Maya Angelou's "Champion of the World," Joe Louis became an icon because he changed the concept of what it meant to be an American and for many he represented the American Dream. Similarly, Mohammed Ali achieved greatness and managed to overcome many of the obstacles facing him during this uneasy and turbulent period in American history to become such an American icon. This paper provides an analysis and a comparison of these two individuals and what factors contributed to their success and the part they played in providing role models for American children. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.

"The period during which Joe Louis and Mohammed Ali rose to fame was a difficult time for blacks in general (Stone 2000:100). During this period in American history, many white Americans actually believed that "separate but equal" facilities for African-Americans were appropriate and equitable. In this America, African-Americans were not only different, they were not entitled to use the same restrooms, the same drinking fountains, indeed the same schools as whites because they were inferior to whites. However, Joe Louis and Mohammed Ali served as clear examples that this was simply not the case."

"Pakistan came into being in 1947. The area was part of India until that time. It had been invaded by many Asian peoples through the centuries, with the Muslims arriving in waves from the early 1000s to the 1500s. The British took control over the whole subcontinent in the 1700s. The primarily Muslim areas of India gained independence in 1947 as Pakistan, which then was divided into two widely separated sections (the eastern section would become independent as Bangladesh in 1971). Fighting broke out almost immediately between Muslims and Hindus, and some 7 million Muslims fled from India to Pakistan, while about 6 million Hindus left Pakistan for India. Pakistan is an Islamic republic whose civilian government was ousted in 1977 by a military group, but civilian rule was returned in 1988 (Young students Learning Library, 1996)."

"Muhammad Ali was a great boxer. But, of course, turned out to be much more than a boxer. His victory over Sonny Liston in 1964 for the heavyweight title was only the beginning of a public life that has been played out as much on the front page as on the sports page.
This research examines the historical and legendary life of the boxer known as Muhammad Ali. Muhammad Ali's life example has served as a pivotal point in history for breaking racist stereotypes. Ali eventually used his boxing fame to create an ethnic identity for Afro-Americans in American history. His life is one of a great boxer, a symbol of black pride, a creator of a new civil rights movement, and a living prophet of religion as tolerance.

Not that his boxing feats can be minimized. Perhaps the.."

Introduction
Despite a limited release, Leon Gast's documentary feature When We Were Kings, which chronicles the 1974 Muhammad Ali-George Foreman "Rumble in the Jungle," has won critical and audience acclaim. Namely, the feature has earned approximately 1.5 million dollars as well as an Oscar for the best documentary feature of 1996. Undoubtedly, part of its success is due to America's affection and respect for George Foreman. However, it is even more clear that the major reason for the documentary's success is the mettle of the man who stands at its center, Muhammad Ali.

In his 1991 biography of Muhammad Ali, titled Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times, Thomas Hauser calls Ali "the most..."

"In fact, if we look at Clay's image and impact upon the boxing world and American society during this period, it is highly likely that many people regarded him as a serious threat to the status quo, and the very fabric of the "American" way of life. Within this context, we can argue that Clay probably served as an inspirational and positive role model for other young men of color who wanted to believe that they could overcome any obstacle in life and achieve their dreams - what ever they may be."

Abstract
This paper examines the legacies of Jawaharlal Nehru and Muhammad Ali Jinnah, who were once rulers of India and Pakistan, respectively. The paper explains that the independence of India and Pakistan from British rule constitutes of significant historical importance that may not have happened without the influence of Nehru and Jinnah. The paper discusses the life of each leader, and how events developed throughout the most influential phases of their rule. For example, the paper notes that Jinnah left Pakistan with a realistic perspective of what leadership and government should be in the modern world, and that all people, no matter race, religion, or ethnicity should be equally protected and represented. The paper concludes that an examination of the lives of Jawaharlal Nehru and Muhammad Ali Jinnah reveals the significance of how each leader's philosophy and performance greatly impacted the country and continue to influence both nations today.

From the Paper
"Muhammad Ali Jinnah was born in a predominantly Muslim area in the city of Karachi, and would become the first leader of Pakistan when it was created in 1947. Jinnah was educated in Karachi as he attended a Muslim managed school, and then later furthered his education and studied law in England. According to Stephen Hay, "Jinnah's legal studies in London developed his keen mind" (Hay, 222). After his admission to the bar in 1896, Jinnah served briefly as a magistrate in Bombay and then went on to practice law. Jinnah's first encounter with political matters began in 1906 when he "acted as the personal secretary to the Congress president for that year" (Hay, 223). In his early political years, Jinnah supported the Indian National Congress and the Hindu-Muslim unity, but soon enough it was his difference of opinion with Congress party leaders such as Gandhi that led him to no longer support Hindu-Muslim unity. Furthermore, continuing in his political interest, Jinnah later became a member of the Muslim League in 1913 to protest against the Hindu majority. Following his membership in the league in 1913, Jinnah moved on to become president of the league in 1916. Jinnah's rise to power in the Muslim League was crucial to the eventual partition of India in 1947."

Abstract
This paper discusses contemporary Middle Eastern writers and the way that they typically approach social and political themes in their writings. The paper specifically focuses on Palestinian poet Taha Muhammad Ali, the Israeli poet Aharon Shabtai, and the Turkish poet Ozkan Mert, and how they each give voice to the suffering and protests they feel in their poetry, attempting to redeem their negative sentiments and experiences through language and art.

From the Paper
"As I see it, the relationship art and the world's social and political scenes has always been a difficult one. The language of poetry may seem to many a force that, in a way, alienates the reader from the immediate experience of reality. The words seem to clinch the meaning behind the state or the event described and then to reveal it entirely differently to the audience. Nevertheless, good poetry is like a transparent veil, through which we can see directly into the heart of things. It is very hard to state just exactly the limit between description and creation in a work of art. Even when art talks about well known events or feelings, it always seems to have much more than a descriptive value, reaching somewhere behind what is immediately known and always disclosing a secret. In many of their works, the Middle Eastern writers are concerned with the exact same thing: when they write about war or murder, they show us the unknown sides of these events. The attempt to voice these atrocities gives birth to an aesthetics which is all the more bemusing as it tears open the inside of crime, sin, hatred and the feelings they compel us to experience. Moreover, no matter its subject art is always the creation of beauty. As Muhammad Ali put it, "art is worthless unless it plants a measure of splendor in people's hearts" (Lehrer), that is, art can awaken and teach emotion and beauty."
