HOW A RABBI RECEIVED A STANDING OVATION ... AT MUHAMMAD ALI'S FUNERAL (2285 hits)
Rabbi Michael Lerner delivered a powerful eulogy for boxing legend Muhammad Ali at his funeral on Friday, praising Ali for daring "to love black people at a time when black people had a hard time loving themselves" and calling for an end to Islamophobia.
Thousands of friends, family, celebrities, and political figures attended Ali's traditional Muslim memorial service in Louisville, Kentucky, which spanned more than two days. Ali died last week at 74 from complications related to his Parkinson's disease.
/* Agnes... All of the 'Holy' speakers where magnificent! The messages that they brought were glorious. The 'Home-Going Celebration of Our Brother, My Big Brother' was n!othing short of inspiring, uplifting, and unifying!
I was only able to view the services via the "BBC" Broadcasting Networks. No channel here in Philly broadcasted the event. I think and truly believe it to be a total insult to Us, We as Black and/or People of Color!
