The Rev. Jesse Jackson says Muhammad Ali set an example for athletes to “use the high platform of championships” to make a difference beyond sports.
Jackson was interviewed before a Muslim prayer service Thursday in Louisville for Ali. He said Ali’s “dignity in the ring and his sense of heroism beyond the ring made him a living legend.”
The civil rights leader said Ali will be remembered not only as a boxing champion but also as a human rights activist.
