30 Years, Lumumba, and the George Foreman Grill
I won $4.00 betting on Muhammad Ali when he fought the pre-grill George
Foreman for all the marbles in the wee hours of a 1974 Zaire morning. This
was a time when most white kids would regularly root for Ali to lose...so I
took advantage of such nonsense and put my money on The Greatest.
Patrice Lumumba:
Today, as we approach the 30th anniversary of what became known as the
“Rumble in the Jungle,” far more is known about the boxers (and a certain
promoter named Don King who got his start in Zaire) than the venue.
More on the anniversary tomorrow…
