Review of When We Were Kings (1996) by Pierluigi P — 11 Sep 2013
Muhammad Ali was much more than a boxer, or showman, loudmouth, trash talker, or attention seeker; he was a spokesman for the black race and their social struggles, he embodied the will, anger and hope of that generation.
The title itself says it all. Ali fighting Foreman was a David and Goliath kind of duel, they were like titans, god among men, two exemplary black athletes in an epic battle that shows the change of consciousness for their people in that particular time.
Incredibly insightful and illuminating comments by people like Norman Mailer and George Plimpton.
