“Taped on 12/12/1968. When Cassius Clay joined the Black Muslims, his draft board reversed its earlier determination (made in order to keep him out of the Armed Forces so that he could continue to box) that he was not sufficiently intelligent to serve. When he was reclassified, he pleaded conscientious objection, was refused, and at the time of this program, was about to begin a term in jail”.-Amazon.com
