Thomas Hoepker Muhammad Ali in the streets of Chicago. Illinois, USA. 1966.
"I followed Ali for days with my Leica on his route between his home and the gym. Whenever children saw him walking in the streets the
(...) y surrounded him because he was their hero. And he always melted away in the company of kids: he would joke, make funny faces, show off his fists. Ali enjoyed it and the kids enjoyed it. It was incredible to see the transformation of this fierce boxer when he was among children."
