Description
A large number of college students are gathered in a spacious, well-lit auditorium to listen to the speech of African American professional boxer and former Olympic champion Muhammad Ali. Most are seated in rows of chairs while others stand along the sides and back. The students are engaged and appear to be waiting or reacting to the speaker at the front. The room features a high ceiling with chandeliers and large windows at the back wall that allow natural light to filter in. The atmosphere suggests anticipation and high interest during a major campus presentation and public address by African American boxer Muhammad Ali (formerly known as Cassius Clay).
