作品描述:
Muhammad Ali's draft card, issued the day the Louisville, Kentucky draft board ordered him to appear for induction.
·
Ali’s refusal proved a landmark moment in the history of the Civil Rights Movement and helped galvanize the growing popular opposition to U.S. involvement in Vietnam.
·
Ali would have carried this card on his person for years—as required by law—a constant reminder of the sacrifice he made for his principles.
·
His draft card symbolizes the moment when Ali transcended even his own status as a boxing legend to become a global symbol of courage, charisma, and integrity.
