In 1967, heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali refused to be drafted to fight in America’s war on Vietnam. “They never called me n*gger. They never lynched me. They never put no dogs on me. What I’m gonna do, shoot them for what?” As the U.S. escalates its war drive in the Middle East, unleashing bombs and missiles unprovoked on the people of Iran, we remember Ali’s conviction in a critical moment and continue to say NO to war on Iran!
