Pelley today, this city, named for louis xvi, gave muhammad ali a sendoff befitting a king. He was american royalty, one of the most famous and most admired people in the world, a champion fighter, ambassador for peace, and the world came here to louisville to say goodbye. So even in death, muhammad has something to say. Pelley among those eulogizing ali at an Interfaith Memorial Service were his wife, lonnie it is far more difficult to sacrifice oneself in the name of peace, than to take up arms in pursuit of violence. Pelley former president bill clinton i will always think of muhammad as a truly free man of faith. It is the choices that muhammad ali made that have brought us all here today in honor and love. applause thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Pelley and comedian Billy Crystal he was beautiful. He was the most perfect athlete you ever saw, and those were his own words. laughter pelley mourners included former heavyweight boxing champ mike tyson, and actor will smith, who portrayed ali on the big screen. The outpouring of love for muhammad ali began this morning in the streets of louisville as the hearse bearing his casket traveled 23 miles from the funeral home to the cemetery where he was buried in a private service. Fans showered the car with so many flowers, it became a moving shrine. Balloons of red and gold, the color of alis boxing gloves, filled the sky. Ali ali pelley the many people ali touched in life wanted one more chance to touch him. They formed an impromptu honor guard to escort the slugger from louisville off to his final rest. Alis daughter, hana, tweeted from the motorcade a story that her father used to tell. I used to dream that i was running down broadway in louisville, and the people were waving at me and clapping and cheering my name. Ali ali pelley i waved back. Then, all of a sudden, i just took off flying. One of the most poignant moments today was when alis hearse traveled down the street where he grew up. Jericka duncan was there. Ali ali reporter as muhammad alis hearse rolled through his hometown who was ali . The greatest. Where was he from . Louisville. Reporter . It felt like a parade of love. Hundreds showered him with red roses while others ran with the champ. Celebratory moments were mixed with ones of sadness. The procession overwhelmed vernice persley with emotion. This has been one day ill never forget, ever, ever, ever. Reporter in front of alis childhood home, mourners rushed to the motorcade. Family members rolled down their windows to say thank you. 51yearold Sharon Cummings was a School Teacher at central high where ali graduated. She met him twice. Muhammad ali, you have touched every Single Person in this state, in the country. Reporter the loss for louisville is especially tough, scott. The people here knew him first. And many say they knew him the best. Pelley jericka, what a great job youve done here all week. Thank you so much. Well, they knew him first as Cassius Marcellus clay, jr. , born a mile and a half from here, january 17, 1942. Ali had reason to turn his back on his hometown in the jim crow south, but he never did, and so both the athlete and the city were transformed on the long road to justice. Heres Dean Reynolds. Reporter though one of its main streets now bears the name muhammad ali boulevard, the city of louisville has not always embraced its hometown hero. We just sat there on those logs, and just talked for a while. Reporter billy reid covered ali for the louisville courier journal. He said alis refusal to serve in the military, his conversion to islam and his brashness offended many of his neighbors. I whupped him so badly, he had to go to the hospital. A lot of people here felt disenchanted with him and even worse than that. Reporter back when ali was born in 1942, louisville was a segregated slice of the old south, and even after he won olympic gold in 1960, a restaurant here refused to serve the louisville lip. When the city council did change the name walnut street to ali boulevard in 1978, it was on a 65 vote. But as ali mellowed, so did much of louisville. The Muhammad Ali Center now sits right along the river bank, a Multicultural Museum devoted to his legacy. Downtown, billy reid pointed out the private club on ali boulevard that once resisted using that address. He became such a forgiving person, i think that would make him feel good to see that they are honoring him in this particular way. Reporter reverend Charles Elliott of the King Solomon Baptist Church first met ali when the future champ was 13 and says his attachment to the city was always strong. If he was out of the country, he would have everyone know, im from louisville, kentucky. Reporter do you think muhammad ali made louisville a better city . He caused us to look another way, to look the right way. Reporter its just a little more than five miles from alis boyhood home here to his final resting place. But, scott, for muhammad ali and the city of louisville, its been a long journey in many different ways. Pelley Dean Reynolds with the perspective of history today. Dean, thank you. Well, in the mid1960s, ali met a u. C. L. A. Basketball star who was then named lew alcindor. They were lifelong friends who shared a bond in their conversion to islam. We sat down with the sixtime n. B. A. Champion Kareem Abdul Jabbar in louisville today. What would ali say about today . Im sure hed like the attention, but he actually was a humble a humble man. He gave us a great example, and thats what he was all about. Pelley how did you meet ali . I met ali at a party when i was a freshman at u. C. L. A. He just spontaneously came over and picked up a guitar and acted like he was playing it. But thats when we got to know each other, and we struck up a friendship that has lasted this long. Pelley i understand that ali visited you in the locker room. Yeah, sometimes hed tell me funny stories. One of the funniest stories he told me was about the people gave him some myna birds that had been trained to say, ali. Thats all they would say. He had six or eight myna birds, ali, ali. So i said, you still got those birds . That was pretty neat. He said, no, no, i had to get rid of the birds. Every time i came into the house they made a whole racket, i couldnt sleep. I got rid of those birds but dont tell anybody. Pelley you know, ive been thinking this week about ali going to jail in defense of his opposition to the draft and the vietnam war during the prime of his career. That is true integrity. That is standing up for what you believe in. And it took a while, but the nation came around to see it his way. Pelley what is one thing that you learned from ali that you took on board and made part of your own life . You have to make it real. People do not respond to you if you are not real. They want to see something that is sincere and from your heart. And everything he did was from his heart. Even his bragging. You know, one of the things that he would tell people, its not bragging if you can back it up. Thats the proof in the pudding. Pelley its not bragging if you can back it up. Its not bragging if you can back it up. Pelley kareem abduljabbar. Well, few athletes have dominated a sport like ali, but gordie howe did. The man known as mr. Hockey died today in ohio. Hed been suffering from dementia. Howe combined skill with muscle, scoring a thenrecord 801 nhl goals. He also received more than 400 stitches. A gordie howe hat trick was a goal, an assist, and a fist fight. He played 25 seasons with the detroit red wings, and then joined his sons, mark and marty, for seven more with houston and hartford, mostly in the rival w. H. A. Gordie howe was 88. Hillary clinton and donald trump were in washington today, but not together, of course. Clinton met privately with elizabeth warren. The massachusetts senator endorsed clinton last night, and is considered a possible running mate. Trump spoke at a gathering of conservative christians, promising, as he put it, to restore respect for people of faith. But he was shown no respect by protesters who shouted, stop hate. Stop trump. And refugees are welcome here. Overseas, iraqi forces backed by both the u. S. And iran have pushed closer to the center of the city of fallujah. Isis controls that city. Thousands have fled, many more are trapped inside. Charlie dagata went to a refugee camp on the outskirts of fallujah. Reporter crowds swarmed every aid truck that arrived, desperate for food and water, medical attention, even blocks of ice, relief from the temperatures soaring well over 100 degrees. But theyre safe here, away from the isis militants who took control of fallujah two years ago. Abboud hussein ali told us the fight to take it back had become so intense he had to take his young family and make a run for it. They set off at night, dodging the bullets of isis snipers. I really thought we were going to die, he said. But we had to run and duck. Like so many others, they crossed the Euphrates River in a frantic escape. 10yearold amanee told us she loved her beautiful home before isis, or daesh. And after daesh came . She was afraid to say what life was like then, but she said she hated it. Around 20,000 people have arrived here since the siege to recapture fallujah began, more arriving by the day. But with each day, concern is growing for those who cant get here. Camilla oswad awaad broke down when she told us one of her sons had been killed and two more are missing.

Ask your doctor about cialis and a 200 savings card pelley the biggest fight of muhammad alis life was his battle with parkinsons disease. But to the trained eye, signs were apparent even as ali was at the pinnacle of his career. Heres dr. Jon lapook. Reporter it was a thing of beauty the ali shuffle, a blur of movement that befuddled opponents and delighted fans. Years later, it morphed into a shuffling gait, a classic sign of parkinsons, and the louisville lip im going to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. Reporter gave way to silence. It was the slowness of movement that was his limiting factor at that time. Reporter dr. Stanley fahn, a neurologist specializing in parkinsons was the first doctor to diagnose his condition. It was 1984. I saw immediately he had a masked face that is, decreased expression. He had decreased blinking, and he had a typical parkinsons tremor. Reporter parkinsons is most common in older adults. Ali was only 42. I thought some of the symptoms were too early for classical parkinsons disease and this was most likely going to be due to some trauma, multiple traumas to the head. Reporter his handlers told dr. Fahn, ali was not as quick as usual in the famous thrilla in manilla fight against joe frazier in 1975, almost a decade earlier. He had slowness of movement, slowed his reaction time. That probably led to him being beaten up too much in the ring, and that probably worsened the trauma to his brain. Reporter the boxer, once so fleet of foot, could not sidestep his illness, but he raised awareness of parkinsons and became a champion for others living with the disease. No surprise. Thats what a champion does. Even as his illness progressed, ali remained a figure of grace under pressure. He helped raise more than 100 million for the Muhammad Ali Parkinsons Center in phoenix.
