David Remnick, Jim Brown share memories of Muhammad Ali
David Remnick, editor of The New Yoker, and Jim Brown, Hall of Fame running back and a friend of Muhammad Ali, recall the late heavyweight champion as a politically radical figure. “At that time very few people stood up for Muhammad Ali, and Jim Brown was one of them,” says Remnick. Regarding Ali’s refusal to be inducted into the military, “his philosophy was right on,” adds Brown.
