“This monumental close-up portrait of a fiercely determined, focused, and undaunted Muhammad Ali shows him dripping with sweat after a training session. Ali, the heavyweight boxing champion of the world, had become one of the most celebrated athletes of the 20th century. Yet his reputation was tarnished after announcing in 1966 that he would refuse to serve in the US military. Ali, who had converted to Islam in 1964, filed for conscientious objector status, indicating his opposition to the war in Vietnam on religious and ethical grounds. Although he had once been nicknamed ‘the Greatest’ and was beloved by many, critics in the American press now condemned him as a ‘shameless traitor.’ Parks presents him as invincible.” [Accompanying text]

Only a few years after defeating the Fatimid Caliphate, Saladin set out to build a wall that would surround both Cairo and Fustat. Saladin is recorded as saying, "With a wall I will make the two [cities of Cairo and Fustat] into a unique whole, so that one army may defend them both; and I believe it good to encircle them with a single wall from the bank of the Nile to the bank of the Nile." The Citadel would be the centerpiece of the wall. Built on a promontory beneath the Muqattam Hills east of the Old City, was once famous for its fresh breeze and grand views of the city, and was fortified by the Ayyubid ruler Salah al-Din (Saladin) between 1176 and 1183 AD. The purpose of the heavy fortification of the citadel was twofold: the Ayyubid Saladin rose to power after a bloody coup d'état against the Fatimids at a time when Egypt and the Orient faced a Papal Crusade against their lands and peoples.
The fortifications therefore aimed to protect the infant dynasty from any potential uprisings, as well as to protect Cairo from any potential Crusader attacks.
The Mamluks, a dynasty of slave warriors who inherited the Ayyubids built their imperial mosque in the Citadel during the reign of al-Nassir Muhammad ibn Qalawoon. The mosque continued to proclaim Mamluk sovereignty and majesty over Cairo even after the Ottoman conquest of Egypt. Al-Nassir Muhammad's mosque remained unrivaled in the Citadel until Mehmet Ali Pasha built his mosque (between 1830-1848) proclaiming Cairo independent from Istanbul's Ottomans and its mosque a rival to the imperial Sultan Ahmet Mosque.
The Citadel was the seat of government from its erection by Saladin until the reign of Khedive Ismail (1863-1879) who moved to his newly built Abdin Palace in the Ismailiya neighborhood (Khedival Cairo) in the 1860s.
The Rumble in the Jungle was a historic boxing event between the then Heavyweight champion George Foreman and former world champion and challenger Muhammad Ali. Ali won by knocking out Foreman in the eighth round. that took place on October 30, 1974, in the Mai 20 Stadium in Kinshasa, Zaire.

The New Yorker Hotel
481 Eighth Avenue
New York, NY 10001
The 43-story New Yorker Hotel was built in 1929 and opened its doors on January 2, 1930. Much like its contemporaries, the Empire State Building (opened in 1931) and the Chrysler Building (opened in 1930), the New Yorker is designed in the Art Deco style that was popular in the 1920s and 1930s. The building's pyramidal, set-back tower structure largely resembles that of the Empire State Building, which lies just a couple blocks due east on 34th Street.
The New Yorker Hotel is located at the corner of 8th Ave and 34th Street in Midtown Manhattan. It is a fully functioning hotel, featuring spectacular panoramic views of midtown Manhattan from its 39th floor dining lounge. Diners get a sweeping view of landmarks such as the Chrysler Building to the north, the Empire State Building and One Penn Plaza, due east, and lower Manhattan, due south. It is in proximity to Madison Square Garden, Penn Station, Macy's and the Jacob Javits Convention Center. Visitors can come by bus, arriving at the Port Authority Bus Terminal, just a few blocks north on 8th Avenue, or by train, as Penn Station is across the street.

The Citadel is a fortified enclosure begun by Salah al-Din in 1176 AD on an outcrop of the Muqattam Hills as part of a large defensive system to protect both Cairo to the north and Fustat to the southwest. It was the center of Egyptian government and residence of its rulers until 1874, when Khedive Isma'il moved to 'Abdin Palace.
