At least he didn’t wear a suit underneath it like caucasians do. Nothing I hate more than that.

That's why he changed his name because he doesn't want colonisers names.

COMRADES, Muhammed Ali who fuulishly refused to participate in the Vietnam war citing religious belief. He was seen by many as not being a patriotic American

Ali, the Greatest!

If my memory serves me well from reading years back about that 1964 visit to Nigeria, many sources confuse Muhammad Ali's June 1964 visit to Nigeria with that of Malcolm X, who visited Ibadan, Nigeria, in May 1964 and was given the Yoruba name "Omowale" (or Omobowale), which means "the son who has come home."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_uYWDyYNUg?si=BiOVZQOO15F7dSSO

During Muhammad Ali's 3-day tour of Lagos, Nigeria, in June 1964, he was:
Clad in traditional Yoruba Aso Oke agbada.
Photographed playing the gangan (talking drum).

Ali was NOT given the name Adewale or Omowale during that visit in 1964.

The iconic James Brown "Godfather of Soul," James Brown also visited Lagos and Ibadan, Nigeria in the 1960s and he played alongside his friends, Orlando Julius Ekemode and 'Fela Ransome-Kuti (later 'Fela Anikulapo-Kuti). James Brown sampled Orlando Julius Ekemode's 1960s hit "Ijoya" in his international hit song "I Feel Good." The 1960s was indeed a roaring and fantastic decade when Continental Africans, African-Americans, Jamaicans, and other folks from the Caribbean region began to explore mutual opportunities with greater intensity.

Some founding members of the Black Panther Movement also visited Nigeria later in the 1960s. It's ALWAYS an emotional experience when African-Americans visit the Motherland. African-Americans are more genetically and ancestrally mixed now. Modern DNA testing results show that genetically, each African-American is largely related to folks from nearly all the different regions of Africa (West Africa, Central Africa, parts of "Southern" Africa for those deported on slave ships to the Americas via the slave ports of Madagascar) and Europe more than Continental Africans who aren't so mixed up with other ethnicities BECAUSE most folks in Africa LARGELY get married within their ethnic groups and ancestral homelands.
