Muhammad Ali. Everyone has heard the name. But not everyone knows what this man is famous for. Perhaps he’s an Olympic champion? A brilliant boxer? A social activist? All of this is true. But what not everyone knows is that Muhammad Ali isn’t this athlete’s real name. Cassius Clay was an ordinary boy. His catchphrase, “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee,” has been around for years. But beyond his fast feet and powerful punches, Ali is also known as a fierce fighter for African-American rights. It all started when a little boy, Cassius, was bought a new bicycle. Later, the new, wonderful bicycle was stolen. After that, the boy went to a boxing gym. It seemed like a good way to protect his property. Back then, no one thought he would become a true legend.
