Muhammad Ali

Perhaps you saw the recent Ken Burns film on Muhammad Ali on PBS.

On Friday evening, from 6 PM to 8 PM on Zoom, WTCI PBS - our public media partner here in the Chattanooga area - will present “Muhammad Ali: What’s My Name - A Virtual Community Experience,” sponsored by WETA-TV in Washington, DC.

Josiah Golson of the 800 Collective and Stove Works - along with community panelists here in Chattanooga - will participate in a discussion and provide an artistic experience, all inspired by the themes of Muhammad Ali’s life and the Ken Burns film.

I spoke with Alea Tveit of WTCI - and one of the panelists, Cecil Williams III.
