In the 1860s, Abe Grady left Ennis in County Clare to start a new life in America. He would...marry a free African-American woman.... and one of their daughters... Odessa met and married Cassius Clay, Sr.... on January 17, 1942, Cassius junior was born.

So that's where he got his Gift of Gab!


In 2009, Ali visited County Clare... to connect with his Irish roots... He was mobbed by tens of thousands of locals who turned out to meet him....

I saw Ali mobbed by (white) fans when he was around 27 years old, from across Walnut street as he was walking along one of the main blocks in the center of Philadelphia in 1971. He was a very charismatic-looking young man.

Prof Mattias Desmet who writes and studies what he calls "mass formations" has said that they can be naturally deprogrammed by being in a society of non-brainwashed people, but he is only theorizing (i.e., no evidence).

Thx. I’ve read it twice in the last month on Audible and just bought the hardcover so I can underline the good parts.;-)
