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. The issue is available online (not on the ADAH website): http://www.southerncourier.org/low-res/Vol2_No49_1966_12_03.pdf |
