Nice. Does he have Nigerian roots? Reminds me of that movie 'ROOTS'
He was a member of the Nation of Islam. Their ideology was that blacks are Africans that were stolen from Africa as slaves and will one day return home to Africa. That was why he represented everything Africa even his changed name was a Muslim one because they believed Islam is Africa's religion

I don't know if the Nation of Islam still exist though

haba where did you read this your story from?

Muhammad Ali didn't change his name because it is an African religion(though he was a pro African/black activist), he's intelligent so he knows the name "Muhammad Ali" is NOT an African name but a Muslim/Arabic name.

Muhammad Ali loved Islam, he loved the unity in Islam that was the main reason Nation Of Islam was created the "unity", go and read about Malcolm X and know what nation of Islam is all about.

smh. I can bet you don't know half of Malcolm like I do.

Now for a little education, The Nation of Islam believed Islam was the original religion of Africa before the westerners introduced Christianity to us. This and only this was why he changed his name from Cassius Clay (which he regarded as a slave name) to Muhammad Ali which he regarded was more African since africa is believed to be originally islam

Mister man, Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali are very intelligent so they know where Islam originated from.

Mind you I'm a Muslim so I have read and watch Malcolm X interviews on Islam.

Malcolm X love Islam more when he went for pilgrimage in Mecca (Hajj) and he saw the unity during hajj, no racism all race worship in unity, since the whites are more of Christianity and they took them for slavery they believe Islam is more of non-racism and perfect religion to fight for the blacks freedom.
