Muhammad Ali At 70

Earlier today, Shirlee Smith holds a copy of a Louisville Courier-Journal newspaper photo of her at Central High School's 1960 graduation showing student council president Jerry Link, 17, left, the then cheerleader Shirlee Lewis, 17, and Cassius M. Clay, 18, a light-heavyweight member of the U.S. boxing team headed to the Olympics the following August. Ali is preparing to turn 70 next week. He’s coming home for a birthday bash at the downtown Louisville cultural center and museum bearing his name. The private party Saturday night, Jan. 13, will double as a fundraiser for the 6-year-old Muhammad Ali Center, which promotes ideals of tolerance, respect and individual achievement.
