The Great Muhammad Ali's life and legacy is being remembered on his 80th birthday today. Born Cassius Clay in Kentucky in 1942, he would later convert to Islam and change his name to Muhammad Ali.
His friend John Ramsey described him as "what everyone aspires to be". "If I had to say his legacy, I think it is more about social justice, about inclusiveness, about trying to bring people together. And that's rare, even for world leaders.
Muhammad, he didn't just talk the talk, he walked the walk every day. If I had to say, Muhammad is just what everyone aspires to be" said his long time friend.
