Illinois is celebrating Muhammad Ali Day for the first time Monday, with the boxing legend's daughter joining Rev. Jackson in Chicago for an event.
Several state senators sponsored the resolution to make January 17 Muhammad Ali Day. It was passed in June.
Ali was considered a champion of civil justice. The professional boxer, activist, entertainer, poet and philanthropist, nicknamed"The Greatest" took up residence on the South Side of Chicago from the mid-1960s though the late 1970s. Ali made his home in Chicago and became more involved with the Nation of Islam and the Civil Rights movement. He married here, started a family here and staged his comeback here.
