(4) K-3 Fact Finders: Biographies: Great African Americans series. This volume describes highlights of Ali's boxing career, his decision to join the Nation of Islam, and his protest of the Vietnam War, which caused him to be barred from boxing during the peak of his career. Vibrant action photos and well-worded captions are the book's greatest strengths; the main text is somewhat choppy. The large typeface will assist struggling readers. Reading list, timeline. Glos., ind.
