But he was a role model for every young black person growing up at the time in America. I listened to Rev. Jessie Jackson being interviewed on the Today Program this morning, and was amazed by what life was like for young Cassius Clay....he couldn't eat in the same restaurants, use the local Public Library, go to the same schools, or even walk on the same side of the road as white people. And there are some in America that would bring those days back tomorrow if they could.
