The iconic photo of Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali at a diner captures a historic moment between two of the most influential figures of the 20th century. Here’s the background and history behind this legendary image:
The photo was taken on March 1st, 1964, in Miami, Florida, at a diner following Muhammad Ali’s victory over Sonny Liston. This win made Ali, then known as Cassius Clay, the heavyweight boxing champion of the world.
Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali were close friends during this time, bound by their shared connection to the Nation of Islam (NOI). Malcolm X was a mentor and significant influence on Ali’s life, helping him embrace his Islamic faith and identity.
