Muhammad Ali’s new star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame will never be walked on like the other 2,188 famous names.

The former boxer insisted his star be installed on the wall of the new Kodak Theater complex.

Ali said he didn’t want to be walked on by people who disrespect him.

All my life, growing up as a little boy, I always said if I could get famous I would do things to help my people that other people won’t do, Ali said.

I don’t care about being famous. I care about getting the ear of people, because if people hear truth, some will accept it.

He used the opportunity to say he thought black Americans should assert their identity by acquiring indigenous names not the names of white Europeans.

That’s why he changed his name from Cassius Clay, the boxer said.
“I changed my name and that shook the world” he said.
