About This Item
The musical, based on the Off Broadway play *Big Time Buck White* and inspired by the Watts Riots, was set at a meeting of a black militant group. Prolific Broadway producer Zev Buffman decided to turn it into a musical, bringing on lyricist and activist Oscar Brown Jr. and Ali, who at the time had lost his boxing title for refusing to go to Vietnam. Previews were a smash with Buffman calling Ali brilliant. Unfortunately, the play closed after just five performances. While playbills for the show can usually be found online, other related material is scarce.
An interesting collection of ephemera from this short-lived production featuring the most influential sports figure of the 20th Century.
