| The Ali Center is Celebrating 15 Years of GREATNESS!
| |
Thursday, November 19th marks the 15th anniversary of the Ali Center's grand opening gala, where we welcomed guests from 32 states and 12 countries! Since then, the Center has been creating ways to positively impact our community, expand our geographic footprint, and inspire people everywhere through Muhammad Ali's Six Core Principles - Confidence, Conviction, Dedication, Giving, Respect, and Spirituality.
From bringing you annual events like the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Awards and the Muhammad Ali Festival, to our educational programming, partnerships, and temporary exhibits, the Ali Center has always been guided by its mission statement: to preserve and share the legacy and ideals of Muhammad Ali, to promote respect, hope, and understanding, and to inspire adults and children everywhere to be as great as they can be. As we reflect on these past 15 years, we are proud of what we have accomplished, and we know that we could not have done it without you. We look forward to sharing the Greatest with you for many years to come!

Truth Be Told: The Policies that Impacted Black Lives
Open through April 18, 2021As the call for racial justice and equality in America is louder now than ever before, the Muhammad Ali Center's newest exhibit educates and helps others learn from the country’s past in order to foster a better future. Truth Be Told: The Policies that Impacted Black Lives is an exploration of those policies that are linked to systematic racism in America, from the early 1600s, up to present day. Truth Be Told offers visitors the opportunity to learn about the history of Black people in our country that is often left out of, misinterpreted, or even falsified in our history books. It is critical that the facts of our collective American history be told, so that the negative outcomes that these policies produced can be understood, recognized, and amended.
The exhibition features ten authentic boards that were used during the recent protests and marches in Louisville, Kentucky. These panels, originally used as barriers, have been repurposed as the platform on which we are sharing this important history.
Truth Be Told is sponsored by:
