The Muhammad Ali Center presents a new educational online program alongside the University of New Mexico, honoring Muhammad Ali\u2019s legacy as part of the 10th anniversary of his passing.<\/p>\n

“Outside the Ropes: What College Students Can Learn from Studying Muhammad Ali,\u201d will offer a legal and social reflection from university students on Ali\u2019s legacy and the United States Supreme Court case, \u201cClay v. United States (1971),\u201d Ali\u2019s appeal of his conviction after objecting to the Vietnam draft due to his religious beliefs.<\/p>\n

For this new public education program, the Ali Center is partnering with the University of New Mexico\u2019s political science department. This program features a speaker panel consisting of four high-achieving UNM students, who during their political science and\/or pre-law undergraduate studies, specifically studied, analyzed and wrote about Muhammad Ali\u2019s legal and social impact on our society.<\/p>\n

The Ali-Center-UNM collaborative project was originally created and developed by former New Jersey Judge Lawrence Jones. Jones is presently the pre-law advisor and Visiting Lecturer at UNM, where he teaches Constitutional Law and other law-related subjects. Jones had submitted the students\u2019 collegiate work on Ali to the Ali Center for review, resulting in the birth of the program by the Ali Center and its educational collaboration with the University of New Mexico.<\/p>\n

This two-hour educational program will be presented virtually on March 30, 2026 from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. Eastern Time (10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Mountain Time) and will be free to attend via registration.<\/p>\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":41362,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-41361","mac-events","type-mac-events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alicenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mac-events\/41361","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alicenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mac-events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alicenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mac-events"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alicenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mac-events\/41361\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alicenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41362"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alicenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
