One virtual exhibit features a digital story map of public art and monuments titled “Muhammad Ali: An Extraordinary Life in Louisville and Beyond.”Ī hallmark feature of the Muhammad Ali: A Transcendent Life commemoration is a University-wide and Louisville community-based interactive audio/video engagement opportunity named “Standing Up For Peace.” This is a video series of our collective voices sharing how Muhammad Ali’s legacy inspires us to stand up for peace.

The multimedia exhibits include an on-site showing of a rare book of Ali photos. This University-wide collaboration features UofL Libraries exhibits about different aspects of Muhammad Ali’s legacy.

The Muhammad Ali: A Transcendent Life commemoration will engage our campus and community on how his legacy as a global humanitarian and champion for social justice impacts for our collective advocacy for peace and justice today. This commemoration honors Muhammad Ali’s connections to Louisville, his unique contributions to civil rights and social justice movements, and his inspiring global legacy. In January 2021, UofL’s Muhammad Ali Institute for Peace and Justice in collaboration with UofL Libraries will commemorate Muhammad Ali’s social justice legacy – Muhammad Ali: A Transcendent Life - featuring with multiple exhibits across the University of Louisville.
