Muhammad
Ali was buried Friday at Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky,
after one last drive through his hometown in a motorcade bearing his
remains. A public memorial began around 3 p.m. this afternoon.
As the long line of black limousines went by,
hundreds broke into a chant of “A-li”, stood on cars, held up cellphones
and boards boldly written "WE LOVE YOU MUHAMMAD", tossed flowers onto the hood of the hearse, and reached out
to touch it.
The crowd shouted and surged
forward in excitement when Smith, who played Ali on screen, was spotted
waving out the window of an SUV close behind.
Truckers honked their horns in salute. Others fell silent and looked on reverently as the champ went by.
