description Three young girls are standing in the front row; the girl in the middle is wearing a sign around her neck that reads, "You Can't STOP Lab. High Gophers." The Turkey Day Classic, the annual football game between Alabama State and Tuskegee Institute, was played the same day this photograph was taken. Muhammad Ali was present at the game; he was in Montgomery while on a tour of colleges throughout the South. This image was taken for (but not used in) the article "The Champ Comes to Tuskegee" by Leon S. White, which appeared on page 1 of the Southern Courier for December 3-4, 1966. The article discusses Ali's visit to Tuskegee the previous week, rather than his appearance at the football game in Montgomery.
