the float like a butterfly and sting like a bee...he used to say that...I remember him saying that
Well first I think about him changing his name.
probably the greatest professsoinal boxer that ever was
We'll isn't he the one who sings Fly like a butterfly and sting like a bee.
wrestler, boxer person id on't know him very well
i live 5 minutes from ali blvd. I see himv all the time on TV
The Greatest. The greatest boixer, I grew up with him so I watched a lot of boxing.
I can't remember who he is. (repeat) Well I don't know. (p) No it ain't no use, but I like him, i like everybody. He's not able to box now is he?
Well he's a boxer, right, or was? See that shows you how much I know.
Probably the greatest boxer of all time.
his saying float like a butterfly sting like a bee
Oh my goodness. Um, Ali was a great boxer.
i though t he was pretty g reat as a boxer.
the king, man, he's the best that ever was or will be
i'm a born 1950 so my first thought is draft dodge when he was named cassius clay.

It's a black and white photo standing over--I want to say Joe Lewis but I don't know.
Joe Louis, a picture of Joe Louis on a milk carton actually
Well now the first thing I think about is his medical condition. (p) His present-day condition.
a boxer...Olipic and when he lit the tourch
I have an image of him in the older photographs of him throwing a punch
Ali wearing robes, wearing boxing robes.
I think of him when he was really young and the butterfly quoute sting like a bee and He is wearing shorts and there is a huge crowds Its in black in white you know I watch his daughter fight also
Oh um just...a great man. I know how I feet but it's hard to explain. (p) Well...strength.
Muhammad Ali standing in a boxing ring standing over someone he's just knocked out.
Well I know he's not able to box now, is he?
what he has done in the past and what hes going throug now.
actually a pciture of him in the ring i think he had a big swollen eye. I think he had been beat by mike tyson or george foreman.
Just a great man, I don't, I can't-- (p) I can't, I don't know how to verbalize it, you know.
I saw him on an interview with the actor who played him in the movie
I would just say a colored man with boxing gloves.
Him, I think of him in his prime as a boxer, spouting his poetry and bragging, obnoxiouxly, but I think of him in a positive way.
he was a good boxer [p] no ma'am he was a champion
Him at the Olympics. (p) Just when he held, he lit the torch, I don't know what year it was, at the Olympics.
again thoughts of when he was a boxer and that age you know when he was still competing. i don't think of him like he is today.
fine, honest person [p] he sets good examples for young people.
i think hes a pretty great person [p] not really
he's shaky (p) when you see him on Tv nowadays, because of the development of the disease, his body control is limited
i picture him with his arms up in the air right after he defeated an opponent, in victory.
remmember a poster of him when he wore gloves and boxing short and ..what he always said float like a butterfly and sting like a bee
one of human individual with a challenging behavior of the leader
probably two, one of him at the last Olympics, and the other one is when he won his first championship.
black and white picture with him dressed in boxing attire, i guess

Well when he was younger I didn't like the way he bragged on himself all the time. (p)
Well I have mixed emotions about him. He was a good fighter, don't get me wrong, but he was cocky. I didn't like that about him. That's about all.
I feel bad for him now becuase he has Alheimer's or mental issues becaus of all the fighting
They're positive now, but when he was doing that, bragging and boasting about his own abilities, I thought he was obnoxious; they were pretty negative I thought that was unnecessary.
for bad or worse ..his action in his boxing... he hurt somebody bad
they were real positive, then they were negative, then they were real positive (p) the real positive was him in the beginning, a lttle bit negative when he changed to Mohammed Ali, I was a little young so i didn't understand, and actually I'm born and rai

that 's all i know i read the article talking about him, he believes in God and muslim.... they are good people.
buddhist or no muslim or buddisht buddhist may be.
I think of the name "Muhammad" and I think of...Hebrew?
I belive he's the religion of Islam-- Muslim.
....uh, uh .....jehova's witness i'm sorry jehova witness.
I believe it's mulim. There is a muslim church in my home time, but 70 miles from my home town my dear friend goes there.
i understand black muslim, i can always be wrong

I saw him light the tourch last year ...may be 2 years ago in the Olypic
first he was a boxer and then he carried the torch Lit the torch.
carried the torch--actually he lit the flame
boxing...in the 1960 it's not here..it's not in the United State
A boxer. No I don't remember. Didn't he carry the flag for the United States. He was a gold medal winner
Well, I know he carried the torch later on and I believe he boxed. I think it was last time or the one before but I don't have a clue when he boxed.
he boxed, not that i know of i don';t know
Boxed. 1960, oh, location? Hmm I want to say Rome but I'm not sure.
I believe he was an Olympic boxer, and a few years ago he carried the Olympic flame, the torch. (p) No I don't. (p)
oh my gosh, i forgot i think he lit the troch.
He was a boxer. (p) No I do not. (p) Pardon? I don't know anything else-- uh, I know that he carried the torch. Sorry.
Well I know for a fact he carried the torch this last time, and I'm unclear if he was in the Olympics for boxing. I want to say yes, but I'm unsure of that.
he was a golden medal boxer. [p] i dont' remember the year and location but ive seen him he's real fast.
He boxed. (p) No. (p) He lit the torch, and that was in, I want to tell you Atlanta, but I can't remember what year, off the top of my head.
i know most recently while i was alive he was very important in hte openin ceremony in the olympics in atlanta and i'm not sure but he might have fought in the olumpics but im not sure thats before i was born, when i picture him is see him on tv at the op
I don't know if he participated in the Olipics but I saw him in the Olipic ceremony.
i think he won the gold medal, did he not? (P) that might have been the year he boycotted it, i'm not sure, because of Vietnam, I'm not sure
i think he lit the tourch ...that's all I know.
he carried the torch to light the torch to begin the Olympics (P) i believe it would have been 1996 olympics, can't remember if it was 1996 or 2000.
he won the gold medal (p) i'm going to say '62, that was the general time, but i don't remember where that was (p) just this last one where he was standing there holding the torch and greeting people.
i believe he has i believe he was an olympic boxer, not under the name of mahumaed ali, under cassius clay's name (p) let me think about this, i amy be totally wrong, i don't remember the location, i amay be totally long, but 1960, i can't remember where

i think he was supposed to or something like that, i think that he dodged the draft or something like that, and then i think that maybe he served or deserted, i'm really foggy about that, i know there was some question about his military service, i know t
No, but he was in the Army, I think. No, he wasn't in the Army because they couldn't draft him because of his religion. I think. I was pretty young. I was probably an early teenager w3hen he was in his prime.
I would say I don't know. He probably did based on how specific the qeustion
yes I remmember They drafted him he got in alot of trouble I think he actually didn't go. He was arrested for awhile I think
I don't know well he changed his reliogion and he didn't beleive in war
I'm unsure about that too but I'm going to say no.
I don't remember that either. I should, I just don't.
I know he served in the forces but I don't know what war
he was a i guess you'd call it a conscientious objector because of his religion.
no he did not, he was a conscientous objector.

His achievements, I guess his beliefs ro his religion or whatever.
I don't know ...he was a man that tried very hard and stuck to him values
He was a champion with strong convidtion he is exhibiting a lot of courage fighting his illness
for myself--muhammad ali is honorable. he has done what he said he'd do. He never sacrificed who he was for anything
all details of his life, from birth to up until now (p) i think his stand for what he believed in and absolutely his career, and perhaps his determination
I don't know. (p) I'm sure most people would be interested in his boxing career. (p) One thing that would stick in my mind is the time he spent in prison for not going into the service.
stood up what he beliefs not matter what other people beliefs, how hard he got to be a champain that he was,what he went through to get to the point that he was, the training and sacrifies and cause Parkinson's that he has.
His boxiing career fpr pme thing And even though I don't agree with him--about going to Vietam--he stood up for what yhe believed in. And of course today he's trying to help people.
Well I think they should learn more about the man himself, than the boxer, who he really was, how he did that, not too much about the boxer, but his personal life.
Well, just that he rose up and did well in boxing, you know, his struggle--that he made his way up that high. And I guess with the religious because he did take a stand on that. But those answers are based on my limited knowledge.
Where he came from, where he ended up. (p) Just I guess his life in general.
just about his determination, motivation, dedication. [p] no he was just the greatest wrstler of all time boxer whateve he was
Beliee, and believe in yourself, and trust in others. (p)
They should know what he fought for, for What his beliefs are,I think its important what a difference he made because he stood up for what he believes in no matter what it cots him
I'd say about his beliefs, civil rights. I believe in that. Helping others.
just his history. [p] just black boxing sport
I'll try to make it brief then. I think he was exactly who he wanted to be, and he wasn't afraid to be himself. (p) He uh stood up for what he believed in.
i velieve it would have a great impact on alot of people. [p] his spirit, him always wanting the best for other people [p] not htat i can think of.
probably his achievement in boxing and his willingness to stick to it and want to become a champ about his uh fight with his disease... i can't think of it....parkinsons people should know about that and his daughter comes to mind because she's boxing.
I think they should learn everything. Do you want some specifics? (p) Just the fact that he was a champion, both Olympic and otherwise; I think the fact that he stood up for his beliefs. (p) And that after his disease he continued to be in the public
geez overcoming obstacles, what it took to be the best, endurance
I have no idea. (p) No because I don't know anything about him.
I really don't know I don't ..alot of people liked him (p)
how he stood up for himself when the government wanted to dratf him what has the govenment gone for me they wanted to throw him in jail How he said he was gonna congure and he did his religion also..He was down and out and then he won agin
I think perseverance to become the champion, at a time when he probably wasn't supported like he should have been. And for him being who he was, the champ, no matter what everyone else thought; he knew himself, and who he could be.
Perseverance, um...determination. I guess that's about it.
the rising above and getting thru all he had to go thru and still becomining a champion
that he believed in his religion and he was a world champion 3 times and he didn't give up he went for his goals and made it.
Hard work, um, stand up for your beliefs. Um...be strong with um having a disability.
his determination, the way he became a champion, his strength in his beliefs, he was threatened with going to jail and being unpopular but he still believed in his religion. most recently the way he copes with his illness.
you shouldstand up for what you beleive in regardless you believe in your religion you should stand up for it [p] ali is a real person he liked peopole down throught the years, he's true and whether they white blue brown, he not prejudiced [p] no.
just being hisself for one thing and his boxing career other than that thats about it
just everything [p] becoming a champion and fighting parkinsons disease [p] his religious aspect.
how he was brouht up..he has good upbringing... he's struggled alot but when he did make it he gave back to community and less fortunate people. He gave good values for his children and tried to education on Alzimmer, the boxing is wonderful sport not to
his perserverance to his goals, probably his humanitarian work, that's all.
I don't know . ..(P) I don't know much about him at all
stick to your guns and your beliefs, if you are willing to do what it takes, chances are you will succeed.
he was alwats proud.. he a good champion He fought his way up to be a champion. He came back to defend his title every time.
i think they should learn about his roots, starting out as a kid learning boxing, definitely his olympic assent to champion, becomming the heavyweight champion of the world, protesting his induction into the military, and coming back and becoming a champi
i think his biggest focus is probably the boxing career (p) no, that's all i know him, well, his Parkinson's (p) yeah yeah
let me think just a minute, well, i'd say mostly perseveranc,e keeping at it and keep trying to do it, that would be the only quality thing i would see, and poetry, float like a butterfly and sing like a bee, just like a sideline he was a really powerful

no not really other than admiration for sticking to your guns, for being for yourself
persistence perhaps, self-confidence, that would be about it
probably his boxing careeer more than anthing.
standing upu for what he believed is right I admired that.
I would say, standing up for his beliefs, as far as the war, as far as not going, impressed me. I was just a little girl. And his beliefs in helping others.
actually i like his whole life story nothing really specific.
Well the "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee". Everybody knew that.
the struggles..the normal gring , your beliefs and society
Living with a disability. And I'm a boxing fan.
i think anytime i think hes a good exapmle to everyone that determintion pays off but if you work hard for things youb elieve in sometimes its not easy.
great boxer and trying to find a cure for Alizemer
that he was a world champion, the best that ever lived.
I did the report about him in gray school. I am not sure, I'm sorry
this is going to sound funny because i'm a white guy, but it's about the black struggle, because i was living in Detroit, predominatnly a black community, i didn't really understand living there that there was racism, between that and religious, when he c

I never did like his attitude when he was younger.
Just the fact that he was good and he told everybody, that's all.
i don't like violence really but he's a good guy.
the fact that he cheated on all his wives I thought that was pretty foul but other that than he was great.I didn't understand that getting divorced was not in the Muslim religion and I wondered about that then watching the movie gave me a little more insi
that he couldn't fight when he really wanted to [p] from what i remember in the movei he couldn't fight for a certain reason i can't remember .... because he refused to go into the service so they told him he couldn't fight and he couldn't have hsi title.
his religion [p] not htat it's any of my business but i don't think it ought to be pushed on teenagers. i don't that ought to be the focus of *his* center, maybe his willingness to achieve something other than religion.
where he didn't want to be in the military
not abou the story I am a videogrpaher so I think they could have done more with the newest video about him. It could have been longer and I think it needed more closure and needed to go a little futher
what made everybody mad is that he took up the muslim religion and he evaded the draft but that didn't affect me. he's a world champion he wouldn't give it up.
the fact that he threw the fight with Leon Spinks, and that he burned his draft card. (p) it was fixed, he lost on purpose so he could regain the title and become the only one to win the title three times.
i do not like his religion (p) and his draft dodging, he used his religion as an excuse

i like to see pictures and time track like going to that old time ..or those period of time
I think that not only seeing art work or artifacts, I like to know who made them and possibly a little bit about them.
i don't genearly do museums, but if it were to go, i'd be interested in what there is to see, everything
Looking at things they used in their younger lives. (p)
oh man you got the wroing person to ask that quesetion I don't go to 'em
Like the football hall of fame, that would be about the same, I liked that. Just seeing about the different people. (p) Just reading more about their story, about who they really were, how they became good sports people, became good at their sport.
I like things that are somewhat interactive. Something that I can participate in becuase it helps me remember and learn better.
History information. (p) Well uh Van Gogh museum, Amsterdam, I liked the pictures, and mostly because it was about light and color. (p)
I little bit of everything I to love going to the scinece museum. anything that I can use to teach my kids not to be bad or violent I really like to go to. I've loved to go the science museum since I was a kid.
Read about their life. (p) Well you know what they've done for people, biographies, I like that. I like to see what good they've done.
I like to see, I like to go to history museums, any kind of history. What I like to do there is, just learn about history I guess. Let me clari-- it's American history, I'm sorry.
I don't know. (p) I've never visited one. (p)
the history, [p] looking at um stuff that um people make and listening to people that know about the history of the art and the pictures.
see pictures [p] short facts, nothing long and difficult.
I just like to look at the exhibits and read on the things that interest me. (p) I liked, the history of Indians, seeing their exhibits and reading their story, on the Trail of Tears. (p) Nothing specific, I liked it all.
Is this a, I think the only musuem I've been to have been children's museums, just watching them do things. (p) Oh like hand-on activities, learning type games and things they can play there. (p)
I like um history, anything about the past. I think knowing about the past lets us know where we're going.
Learn about the peoples' lives, through pictures, personal items that belonged to them; video tape exhibitions would be good. And they really should have a wax figure of him. I also think these items of his should be from his past, but I think the video
I like a lot a lot of pictures and art I sawa aa dolly parton museums they had her clothers. I like a lot alot of visiual aids. I like those push botton screens that give you information but I don't like to read alot. clips of real fights and real events
i went to the spice and rocket center, something that shows their uniforms and stuff like that. long as they have some kind of history ... when he won this when he won that for someone to learn.
I guess reading and learning about the history. (p) Not that I can think of.
some of his belongings some of his things from his boxing days different people that he fought a timeline of his life a lot of people know certian parts but not all the story. [p] i like exhibits that have acutal artifacts like from aperson like belonging
any museum? [p] ilike the museum in chicago of science and industry [p] the development of the country, growth, development of the rockets and space and what happened. Energy from coal, nuclear energy
theres quite a bit like at a museum you know the art [p] not really.
look at memorabilia and pictures [p] thats it.
probably memoribalia, depictions are not attractive, things that are recreated i don't think are very attractive. (p) no, sir
i really can't say because i've never been to one, browse i guess. i guess that's bout what you do there, i don't know
probably see the themes and lifes, statues, any environment that they were in
I like to watch the ancient art, rocks. If I go with friends then we discuss cuture and history
anything that would pertain to him you should have different stages of his career, like Olympic film, professional, film, different battles that he went through in his life (p) i mean coming out of a ghetto environment, rising to olympic chanpion is prett
read about their history (p) i guess be a timeline of their lifes and careers (p) no
i like to see old stuff (p) stuff that's maybe when i was born or before that, how people lived before me, and that's when i go see exhibits, i like to see exhibits like that, and i enjoy learning about other cultures also.

I don't know. I guess learn about stuff I don't know about. Like the Army and the Olypics.
I like to see his pictures, his boxing shorts, boxing career ..and all about him as a man.
oh..I quess just get a synopisis of his life it would be impossible to read everything the highs and the lows
I think a possible interactive type story. Maybe something about when he was a kid, the roots of his family and how he left of legacy of children himself--because one of his daughters is aboxer too.
i would like to see whatever was in there that would be offered, no preference.
I don't know, I wouldn't go so I don't know what I would want to see if I would go.
see cliping from his fights, his life information about him growing up
I'd be probably more interested in his life story more than anything. I don't know how they'd do that but more than anything that would be it.
I don't know, I've never been there. I'd just like to walk around and see the exhibits, read about him. (p)
I guess just become more informed about his life. I like pictures too.
learn about the positive things about his life
Watch the fight. (p) Yeah I would just like to be able to watch the fights, pick what year and then go watch it. You know at 3:00 The Thrill at Manilla, at 4:00 The Champoinship Fight. At two in the morning, the time he lost to Foreman (hehe).
Just learn more about his life and what he stood up for and his life in general
Ah I don't know because I've never been there and I don't know what's there. But I'd say, reflect on his life. (p) The goodness, of course his boxing days. (p) Beliefs.
First I'd like to see representations of his athletic career, not so much his religious, or his career in the Army, apparently he had a career in the Army. (p)
find out more about his history and learn morea bout his daughters.
i'd rather see pictures of his boxing career, read a brief history, learn about his family wife daughter. Learn how he became a boxer, see some of his uniforms, whatever they're called.
Read about the History, verify the history, and things that I don't know. (p)
just look around more infomoration about his bxing. and a big thing about him living with parkinsons
I like to know the great people of our time, the Muhammad Ali's, the John F. Kennedy's, the Martin Luther King's; I like to know more about what they've done, even if it came to an unfortunate end for them, assasinations, they were still great people, and
Pictures, images from him from his past as well as current images, as in video tapes and video tapes from recent events and recent humanitarian efforts he's been involved in. I think to get kid's attention and people's attention there should be some life
If it had everything iI said it would be wonderful. My biggest interest would be a video that you could sit and watch. I am big into that
just learn and read about him and see some of the uniforms and gloves he used...read about him.
Probably look at the exhibits and learn a little bit more about the story. (p) Just his whole story of his whole life. (p)
from his boxing days, that how i think of him most. all the fights he was in, we all know about his professional career but what about b4 then, and then the big fights the stories behind them. [p] those are the major ones.
i don't know what his life would bring to the center i'm not that educated.[p]he was a prized fighter and his courage as a prized fighter he was a real human being as i said b4 and i can see him now reaching down to little children - he loved those.
i would really like the opportunity of meeting *him* in person and talking with him[p]no.
see his art/memorabilia boxing gloves pictures of him in different locations [p] places he boxed.
learn more about his culture his background and meet him.
don't really have anything off the top of my head at this time (p) no, that's ok.
I'd like to meet him, congratulate him on his life's work, and shake his hand.
probably ..all of championship belts and stuff, may be some pictures or something about him, his family and home.
see digital booth that people can learn about the story of boxing.....statue of Ali, books that tell best and most essential of his talks and behaviors, humanity in general
i'd like to put on a pair of his boxing gloves and hit the heavy bag for one minute, or skip rope for a minute, like his physical regimen, or like a wax figure that was his exact size, and manage to get posters of different eras in his life.
learn more about his career (p) how he got there, his childhood and what brought him to that
i don't know, i don't know what's there, maybe i'd like to see film clips of the old fights the very earliest fights (p) that's about it.

because I live in Chicago and I never have the desire to vistion Kentucky, So I probably wont;' evr go
not unless i was in that state for some reason. i've never been to kentucky.
Well I don't know very much and never been anywhere much.
Just because I have no interest in sports, of any kind, and in my mind that's all I identify him with, since I don't know anymore about him.

Just surprised, just curious aobut the survey, it's purpose.
I would like to learn alot more about him because he is more here I think they should have a boxing center for children It would be very popular and it would get a lot of kids off the street.
No I never did know very much about him but I probably did see him box on television.
i just i guess that im glad that they went ahead and built and theyre using it for his benefit and shwoing that he's the greatest that ever lived even though he ahs a disease.
Not that I can think of, I just think that he's a great man.
No I guess that's about it, you pretty much strained me of anything I could think of.
No, he's a good man, well yes, he's a good man. And i think he did a lot to bring respect to people of his race, and uh became a champion to all races during a time when um... African-Americans were just coming into their own. There had been other black
i hope it goes through you know [p] not at this tim.e
I wish he'd get better, I wish they'd find a cure for him, Parkinson's that's a nasty disease, he don't deserve to have it.(P) that should do it, if you send a letter to him, tell him i still love him.
you can hang up some old boxing trunks, robes and stuff like that in the Ali Center.
no you've covered it, you did a good job on this
