With the recent passing of legendary heavyweight champion, Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Marsellus Clay, Jr.), Trials & Error revisits the 1971 Supreme Court opinion that nearly ended Ali’s career: Clay v. United States. After refusing induction into the military in 1967, and the Draft Board and a federal appeals court denying his request for conscientious objector status, Ali was stripped of his boxing license and heavyweight title. It took months of infighting within the chambers of the Supreme Court for eight Justices to unanimously rule that Clay’s religious objection to war, as a Muslim, was valid. Join us for a discussion with Thomas Krattenmaker, who was the law clerk to Justice John Marshall Harlan who served on the Supreme Court during that term, Ali’s appellate attorney, Jonathan Shapiro, leading Ali biographer, Thomas Hauser, and Academy Award, Golden Globe and Emmy nominated actress and choreographer Rosie Perez.
