Louisville Air Pollution Control retweeted
Ten years ago today, Louisville lost a legend, a voice for courage and conviction, Muhammad Ali.
He used his voice to challenge injustice, uplift others, and bring people together.
Today, we honor The Greatest by continuing to live out the values he championed every day.
Louisville will always be proud to call Muhammad Ali our own.
