Championing the human spirit

“Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.” —Muhammad Ali

The Muhammad Ali Center is much more than a museum. As an athlete, a humanitarian, a global voice and man guided by faith, Muhammad Ali embodied a pursuit and belief in the greatness found in all people. Founded in 2005 by Lonnie and Muhammad Ali, the Center is dedicated to mobilizing Muhammad’s legacy by fostering respect, inspiring generations of changemakers, and advancing social justice.
