Muhammad Ali Stumps in Mississippi Senate Race 1978

A story I shot in 1978 about Muhammad Ali coming to Mississippi to stump for Charles Evers (the brother of slain civil rights icon Medgar Evers) run for for Mississippi U.S. Senate. While Evers run no doubt insured that Republican Thad Cochran beat out Democrat Maurice Dantin it was exciting for African-American's to see a strong showing by an African-American candidate. The talented Gary Whitaker is the reporter for this story we did for the NBC feed.
