In honor of MLK Day - "One Night in Miami"

The movie is on Prime Video. I haven't seen it yet, but the reviews are excellent, It is about a meeting after a boxing match between 1060s Black icon Muhammad Ali (still Cassius Clay at that point), Malcom X, Sam Cooke and Jim Brown. "Based on an actual event", which probably means all the dialogue is invented, but there was a meeting.

Anyway, in watching the trailer, I was reminded of the powerful grace of Ali's body and voice, and his refusal to be drafted for the Vietnam War. He didn't fight, and he didn't run. He basically volunteered to lose his title and go to jail, complete non-violence. In view of the events of a couple weeks ago, Ali was "the good old days".
