“I Miss Him So Much”: Muhammad Ali LIVES ON Through His Daughter’s Incredible Act of Kindness

The late Muhammad Ali has left behind a legacy worth sharing for generations to come. Whether it is his elegant boxing skills inside the ring or the courage to stand up against an American society filled with prejudice towards the black community in the 60s, he is an example worth emulating for the current generation. ‘The Greatest’ was bigger than boxing, advocating for civil rights and countless humanitarian causes. The figure who impressed boxing fans with his brilliant trash talk sans profanity, and forced the boxing world to coin terms like “rope a dope” and “Ali shuffle” to justify his boxing prowess as he became the heavyweight world champion three times in his career, was also a tireless crusader for individual freedom and liberties. Likewise, Ali’s daughter,  Maryum Ali is also on a mission to not let the current generation forget the example Ali has set for the entire world.

Muhammad Ali’s eldest daughter took to Instagram to inform her followers that she would soon be taking a “two-hour class” about her father. In her preparation for the upcoming class, Miriam revealed that she “felt his spirit” and “missed him” so much. Her detailed presentation will feature “what his eyes saw in America and what his ears heard as a child up to adulthood”.

She will traverse the rich tapestry of beliefs, attitudes, and decisions that the former heavyweight champion of the world took that ultimately led him to relinquish his “slave name” Cassius Clay, and adopt his Muslim name “Muhammad Ali”. On that note, she also shared a carousel of pictures taken during his lifetime, that will surely make true-blue boxing fans reminisce about the charming personality who “shook up the world”. 

On a different tangent, following in her father’s footsteps, Maryum, a human rights activist herself, once used her platform to encourage fans and supporters to come together for an important cause.

A voice for peace during troubled times!

Focusing her attention on the Israel-Palestine war, following the Hamas-led attack on Israel on October 7, she invited fans to sign up for a campaign demanding a cease-fire between Israel and Palestine.  She shared an Instagram post detailing a step-by-step guide to help with the efforts to demand peace in Israel.

The entire effort was directed toward urging the people to contact their respective congressmen to support the movement.  The post urged people to send letters to their respective congresspersons to raise awareness about the situation in Israel.

Additionally, she also screenshots of tweets from prominent organizations from across the globe, addressing the conflict in Israel. Also, the detailed campaign asked people to register their votes in support of the cause.
