Before he was a household name, Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali) was a kid with struggles like any other. Alexander and Patterson join forces to vividly depict his life up to age seventeen in both prose and verse, including his childhood friends, struggles in school, the racism he faced, and his discovery of boxing. The event will be moderated by Lois Cahall, founder of the Palm Beach Book Festival.
