Muhammad Ali at Harvard, 1975

The champ spoke to students at Harvard University on June 9, 1975. Some of his jokes would never be "allowed' today. I hold no rights to these images.

What a brilliant man

[@pgs2179]

I've known a lot of very learned people in my 62 yrs of life, and, that includes Teacher's, and bank Managers, and LAWYERS and Drs etc etc, but!!!!, Not a single 1 of them, even came close!!!, too being as brilliant as Ali was folks!!!, As in the way in which he'd just talk too people and, his endless "off the cuff,," replies and remarks!!!, In fact, I'm 💯 PC certain!!!, That, Mohammed Ali, had a "computer brain"!!!🙂 He'd ALWAYS answer people's Questions, in a "fraction of a second"!!!, And!!!!, He was either ALWAYS correct!!!, And or, he was correct, the vast majority of the time!!!, Just like the time he ripped into Parkinson!!!, Even though, I don't think there was any, "Malice in Parkinson's Question", 🤔, because in my humble opinion, Ali's brain was as fast as his," hand speed", in his prime!!!, Just like the time he, "ripped into Brian London", and he hit him about 14s in 2.8 seconds!!!, Or, that's very close too how many xs he hit him, in "lightning fast succession", and It was only because London refused, "too go down", 😮And, Ali wasn't even trying too actually hurt him either!!!, it's just that he was, "just trying to finish the job"🤔 And, poor London was "on the canvass and trying too pull himself up by the ropes"!!!,😳but, he was, "totally finished"🙂 AND!!!!!, That's 💯 PC exactly!!!, what Ali did, with his lightning fast replies, WHENEVER!!!!, he was being interviewed, and, for the most part, in a, "calm, and well mannered" and, "a polite manner too",🙂 Because the man was a "pure genius"!!!!, Whom vvvvery few ppl could, "verbally match", and, it was 💯 PC!!!!,"no different in the boxing ring either"!!!!,SO!!!!, it's,"very little wonder", Ali was made a professor, or, at least I'm fairly certain, that he was made a professor 🤔, And, just like I said before, I've known countless extremely learned people in my lifetime!!!, And, verry few, if any of them!!!, d v "held a verbal candle too Mohammed A"li!!!!, And, may he rest in peace.

I bet that's the best lecture they ever witnessed. The wisdom about meeting the homeless man is just unique

Yeah, but he lost me with the like goes with like speech. It got kinda racist. The outside shell isnt what is so meaningful. Its what we do with the life we have.

Could you imagine if this speech was given today?

[@salmabibi1221]

What a great honour. Allah Almighty has blessed him. The appraisal from the crowd is intense

[@francishughes542]

Jeez, What a lot of people dont realise it that Ali was illiterate, but i would rather spend one hour listening to him, than anyone who could read & write, he was an amazing, incredible human being.

[@user-ef1qm2gy1t]

7:15 ... Yes kids, those kind of speech was totally correct and FUNNY in the gold old days...nobody was offense and nobody would have ever think to make a scandal with this...

Not only would they not be allowed but they would cancel him for having views which would be deemed controversial

[@RichardKuklinsky]

It won't come around a man like this on earth, in one millions years.
