Queen’s Park Community Council has teamed-up to screen the new (2023) Cassius X: Becoming Ali Docu-film following Cassius Clay from his early years, working class, intellectual background to Muhammed Ali – one of America’s most influential public figures and civil rights campaigners.
The film reveals how the teachings of Elijah Muhammad, reinforced by a friendship with revolutionary preacher, Malcolm X, set Clay on the journey to become “Cassius X”, before his induction to the Nation of Islam and ascension to the name of the great Muhammad Ali.
Cassius X: Becoming Ali is the extraordinary story of how one young boxer from Louisville, Kentucky became a cultural icon for the ages, forever to be known thereafter as “The Greatest”.
This event is brought to you by: Queen’s Park Community Council (sponsored by The National Lottery), All Stars Boxing Gym, The Roger Diamond foundation and others.
