Story

The pink house where Muhammad Ali grew up is for sale in Louisville, Kentucky. It was turned into a museum showing Ali's early life. The house, along with two neighboring homes, is on the market. The hope is to find a buyer who will keep Ali's childhood home as a museum. This would be the best outcome, as it is an important part of history. The museum opened for tours before Ali's death in 2016. The house was renovated to look like it did in 1955 when Ali lived there. The furnishings, appliances, and even the pink exterior were replicated from that time. The museum focused on Ali's upbringing, not just his boxing career. Ali started boxing after his bike was stolen. He wanted to report the theft and met Joe Martin, a police officer who also coached boxing. The house became a focal point during Ali's burial, with many people gathering to pay their respects. The owners also bought the neighboring homes, funded a documentary, and covered expenses for all three properties. They want to ensure the museum continues to preserve history and doesn't fall into disrepair.
