Hometown Hero: Louisville Mourns Muhammad Ali
Fans honored the late boxing champ in his Kentucky hometown.

A memorial to honor Muhammad Ali, the former world heavyweight boxing champion after he died at the age of 74 on Friday is set up at the Louisville Islamic Center in Louisville, Kentucky on June 5, 2016.
Several emotional remembrances occurred Sunday as the city joined together to mourn its most celebrated son, the "Louisville Lip."



A tear rolls down the cheek of Rahaman Ali, brother of Muhammad Ali, as he talks about his brother before leaving home to attend a service at the King Solomon Missionary Baptist Church. "It meant to me everything," Ali said recalling the last time they were together. "Happiness, joy, peace, contentment. He was one of my best friends next to my wife. I love my brother. He was a wonderful, wonderful human being."





People gather at a makeshift memorial at the Muhammad Ali Center on June 4.
Politicians, celebrities and fans from around the world are expected to attend Ali's traditional Muslim funeral service this Friday.
