Muhammad Ali Named 2012 Liberty Medal Recipient
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – The National Constitution Center has announced the winner of the 2012 Liberty Medal.
Boxing legend Muhammad Ali has received the honor from the NCC, which is billing the Liberty Medal ceremony as the centerpiece of its 225th anniversary celebration of the U.S. Constitution.
“It is very fitting that Muhammad Ali, a representative for the bicentennial of the Constitution, be awarded the prestigious Liberty Medal in 2012, as the nation celebrates the 225th anniversary of our founding document,” said President Bill Clinton, Chair of the National Constitution Center. “Ali embodies the spirit of the Liberty Medal by embracing the ideals of the Constitution – freedom, self-governance, equality, and empowerment – and helping to spread them across the globe.”
