A recent decision by Birmingham City Council to bulldoze the iconic Muhammad Ali Centre in Icknield Street (only yards from the Hockley Flyover) has sparked outrage among the black community who have been trying for years to have the centre re-opened.
Once a cultural focal point and visited by Ali himself three times, it is now a burnt out shell, and haven for drug misuse. A local group (ICDF) lead by activist Gerald Nembhard has been given only 8 weeks (until June 5th) to present a viable business model to save the building, and raise enough capital to prevent its demolition.
Please contact Gerald Nembhard at the Infinity group for more info. InfinityCDF@hotmail.co.uk
We the undersigned call upon Birmingham City council to stop the demolition of the Muhammad Ali Centre, Hockley, Birmingham and demand that it be restored to its original glory for community use.
