Poet Ali Wins Generation Ali Contest with Powerful Submission

Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville is an amazing place that not only celebrates the life of the greatest champion in sports history, but the a man whose efforts to bring change and unity to the world are seismic. This center serves as the cultural center for Louisville, Kentucky and they held a contest called Generation Ali for someone to create a piece which promoted Ali’s six core principles: Respect, Confidence, Conviction, Dedication, Spirituality, and Giving.
