Muhammed Ali was a true champion who fought for change both in and out of the boxing ring. Though he faced many obstacles like racism and losing his title, he always persevered with knowledge and love. Today, the West End of Louisville faces similar challenges of racism and lack of economic opportunity. However, the community contains talented doctors, artists, athletes and champions who should invest in the area to create local jobs and careers, especially for college graduates, rather than continuing to let the community struggle in poverty. It's time for the West End to get up and be champions again.
