Ken Burns, the award winning documentary film maker directed the most comprehensive, historically important life and times of the worlds most beloved icon, Muhammad Ali. The 4 part series that aired on PBS took 7 years to review and edit the still photographs, TV coverage, and never seen before videos of the worlds most famous person, "The Greatest." This Ken Burns film defines Muhammad Ali and his legacy in history that will stand the test of time.
Michael Gaffney was proud to have many images selected from his collection for the Ken Burns film on Ali. This rare image captures Muhammad Ali winning the Heavyweight Championship for an unprecedented third time. This feat stands today, having never been accomplished before or since.
This Michael Gaffney photo was selected for the Ken Burns film and used in the promotions because it showed Muhammad's extraordinary human touch as the People's Champ. Ali jumped out of the limo to create memories of a lifetime on the streets of Detroit.
