Question

Ali famously framed his unwillingness to perform military service on behalf of the United States in the context of racism and discrimination against black Americans: “’I’m not going to help nobody get something my Negroes don’t have. If I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die right here, fightin’ you’ (Paragraph 2).” In the context of this article, how has America changed over time? Use evidence from this text, your own experience, and other literature, art, or history in your answer.
