In the Face of Adversity: Muhammad Ali's Conscientious Objection

"Some people said that what I did was wrong. But everything I did was according to my conscience."

On April 28, 1967, Muhammad Ali shook up the world for the second time when he refused induction into the United States Army. He was exiled from boxing, his titles and passport were taken away, and he faced a $10,000 fine and five years in prison--and even still, he stayed true to his beliefs.

In the Face of Adversity: Muhammad Ali's Conscientious Objection explores one of the most highly publicized times of the champion's life through objects from the Muhammad Ali Center's collection.
