L'ultimo viaggio di Ali

 

 Ali incontra mandela 

 

Una foto storica .Ali incontra Mandela .Una stretta di mano che defini' "unforgettable "

 

Sono state ore piene di commozione  e di rispetto   quelle che tutto il mondo ha visto in Tv.  Oltre 100.000 persone a Louisville hanno assistito all’ultimo viaggio  di Ali  per 30  chilometri lungo le strade della sua città natia. Il presidente degli Stati uniti Barak Obama ha definito 'The Greatest', come "unico nel suo genere", e ha sottolineato : "Nel mio libro, lui sarà sempre il più grande."


Canti di "Ali! Ali!" sono stati la colonna sonora   che ha accompagnato il  il carro funebre e l’emozione è salita al massimo quando il corteo  si è fermato un attimo davanti alla casetta di legno dove era nato 74 anni fa .
Abbiamo visto la bara, coperta da un panno su cui era disegnato un messaggio in arabo  .L’attore Will Smith che lo ha impersonato nel film autobiografico Ali gli ex campioni Lennox Lewis e Mike Tyson,  hanno prestato le loro spalle per portare il feretro .La vedova di Ali ,Lonnie, e molti  dei suoi nove figli e figlie sono sembrati sereni , consapevoli che un grande  evento  si stava compiendo .

L'ex presidente degli Stati Uniti Bill Clinton  ha detto: "Credo che Ali  decise  da giovanissimo di  scrivere la sua storia di vita . Scelse come  fece  Maometto di essere  un uomo veramente libero  e di credere ciecamente  nella pace degli uomini e nel dialogo delle  fedi che predicavano l’amore verso i più deboli .
Era l'unico che volava  come una farfalla e pungeva come un'ape. Credo che sia in un posto migliore in questo momento."

Ora “Il più Grande “ riposa al  Cave Hill Cemetery ma non sarà mai solo: potete scommetterci!
