The original Cassius Marcellus Clay was quite a man in his own right.

When he was a young man and U.S. Ambassador to Russia.

The Old Lion. He was a fearless abolitionist in the middle of the South. Held off a mob all by himself with an old field piece stuffed with nails and a shotgun.

Fascinating, I never heard of HIM before. I'll have to pass that info onto my friend. I still wonder how irritated Ali's mom might have been with him for dissing his given name. Not like the gracious Miss Placenta discussed on this this thread.
