Ali’s boyhood home in Kentucky for sale

A big piece of Louisville history is up for sale: the house where boxing great Muhammad Ali spent his boyhood. Owner Steve Stephenson said Monday he’s asking $50,000 for the small white house with a sagging front porch overhang. The house is situated along a tree-lined western Louisville, Ky., neighborhood made up of mostly neat, modest homes. Stephenson declined to provide further details. In front of the one-story home is a state historical marker recognizing the residence as Ali’s boyhood home, when he was known as Cassius Clay. The marker says Ali lived in the mostly black neighborhood with his parents and brother and attended local public schools. It was at the home where the future boxing champion’s “values were instilled,” the marker says. – AP
