Ali wrote this classic autobiography, which covers his magnificent career through the famous "Thrilla in Manila," with Richard Durham, author of the acclaimed Chicago radio drama series Destination Freedom. "From 1948-50, Durham used the weekly Destination Freedom to fight the stereotypes of African Americans in the media. His inventive scripts highlighted the accomplishments of black leaders throughout history… Durham's recurring theme of social and economic freedom was a revolutionary idea rarely heard on the radio at the time" (National Radio Hall of Fame).
