10 Years On: A Global Day of Compassion in Honor of Muhammad Ali
Muhammad Ali’s life leaps off the page beyond world titles and Olympic gold. His hometown of Louisville is leading a global “Day of Compassion” this week to mark a decade since his passing. His widow recalls how Ali lived by one simple mantra: “Service to others is the rent we pay for our room here on Earth.” She says he showed up every day with kindness and empathy for people in need. From a modest background to three-time heavyweight champion and 1960 Olympic gold medallist, Ali also became a powerful voice for civil rights and an anti-war stance in the 1960s. His legacy endures in stamps bearing his image and in the hearts of fans who never met him but know his spirit. As the Muhammad Ali Center highlights acts of service worldwide, his message of courage, faith and giving back continues to inspire generations.
