There is no denying the impact Muhammad Ali had on the sport of boxing, yet a recent essay by a past president of the New York State Bar Association, T. Andrew Brown, details how his career and his willingness to hold firm to his beliefs changed much more than a sport.
Brown also provides a look at how maneuvering behind the scenes at the Supreme Court changed the eventual outcome of the his case Clay v. United States. Recently, he sat down with “Miranda Warnings” host David Miranda to talk about his research and the impact of the 1971 U.S. Supreme Court case.
“Ali changed the fight game, and he impacted life as we know it today, race relations, respect for the individual,” Brown said. “With respect to draftees, he limited the ability of government to mandate who was eligible for the draft and who would go to war.”
