Muhammad Ali walks through the streets of New York City with members of the Black Panther Party in September 1970. As seen in the documentary "the Trials of Muhammad Ali."

Ali was sentenced to five years in prison and his championship title revoked after he was convicted of draft evasion upon his refusal to serve with the American army in Vietnam upon grounds of conscientious objection. The decision was overtuned in 1971 but Ali became a figurehead of resistance and a hero of the people.
