Muhammad Ali Stories – TRANSCEND Media Service
A decorated Medal of Honor winner publicly calls Muhammad Ali a coward on The Tonight Show in front of 30 million viewers. What Ali does next in those tense 12 minutes transforms his harshest critic into his greatest supporter and creates the most powerful moment in television history. This is the incredible true story of how grace under pressure and the courage to listen can turn enemies into friends, even when the whole world is watching.
