A new Postal Service video spotlights its new stamps honoring Muhammad Ali, the three-time heavyweight boxing champion known as “The Greatest.”
The 4-minute video features comments from Ron Stroman, a member of the USPS Board of Governors, who spoke at the Jan. 15 dedication ceremony for the stamps; Bob Costas, an award-winning sportscaster; Ali’s daughter, Laila; and the stamp subject’s widow, Lonnie Ali, who is also lifetime director and vice chair of the board of the Muhammad Ali Center.
“Many of us remember his victories in the ring: Winning gold at the 1960 Rome Olympics; stunning the boxing world by becoming heavyweight champion just four years later; and regaining the heavyweight title against George Foreman in Zaire. But perhaps Muhammad Ali’s deeper, more lasting legacy is one of service,” Stroman says in the video.
