This essay is about a video report on "When We Were Kings". The video is a documentary on Muhammad Ali and his path to greatness. To fully understand the essay, you would need to have watched the film. Even if you hav not watched the movie, most of the essay will make resonable sense.
When We Were Kings
Muhammad Ali's significance for Spike Lee
Spike Lee's quote: "There was a time when, if you called a black person African, they'd be ready to fight" was in fact very true, especially at the time of Muhammad Ali's triumph. Spike Lee's descriptions of Muhammad Ali included being "handsome, articulate, funny, charismatic, and whoopin' ass too!"
"No Vietcong ever called me nigger", is the reason why Muhammad Ali never wanted to be selected to go to Vietnam. Since Spike Lee was also a black American, Muhammad Ali also meant something. This may be the reason why Spike Lee saw Muhammad Ali in this way - he meant something for all black people in the world.
