Continute Writing this Research Essay: How Muhammed Ali’s association with
Islamic Faith negatively affected the Civil Rights Movement and Its Purpose
Create strong arguments, with good claims since this is a hard topic to argue. Use my first paragraph, which contains topic sentence and thesis. No bibliiography needed, citations can be very casual.
First Paragraph:
Muhammad Ali was a figure with historical influence in the fields of
civil rights and religious identity politics. As a boxer coming out of
Louisville, Kentucky, Ali is played an important role in the Civil Rights
Movement of the 1970s alongside the likes of Malcom X and Martin Luther King Jr.
Ali is often commemorated for his efforts in racial justice activism, intertwining
his athletic stardom with the larger issues that America had at the time. Just
as important is the role of Religion during this period, as Ali converted to
Islam in 1964, changed his name, and made it a large part of identity in his
representation. While Muhammed Ali’s converstion empowered him personally and
politically, his affiliation with the Nation of Islam presented certain complexities
that hindered the broader Civil Rights Movement’s goals of broader racial harmony
and integration. This paper explores ways Ali’s religious identity impacted the
Civil Rights Movement and its contradiction in fundamental values.
