This episode is the culmination of our series on famous federal court trials in US history.
In April of 1967, Muhammad Ali (formerly Cassius Clay) refused to step forward at a draft induction ceremony in Texas. His opposition to serving in Vietnam launched a sequence of trials and appeals that went all the way to the Supreme Court. It's a case about conscientious objection, protest, America's shifting views of the war, and how athletes have the unique role of "soldiers without a weapon."
This episode features Winston Bowman from the Federal Judicial Center, and Jeffrey Sammons from the NYU History Department.
