E:60 “Ali’s Last Round,” Sunday June 4 at 9 a.m. ET
Nearly one year ago, on June 10th, 2016, the world’s eyes were on Louisville, Kentucky as the city said goodbye to its most revered native son, “The Greatest”, Muhammad Ali.
Tens of thousands lined the streets to pay respects to “The Champ” during the funeral procession that traveled some 20 miles across the city.
In the middle of this vast outpouring of emotion and remembrance, one man was tasked with a solemn duty. His name is Hamilton Porter, and he drove Muhammad Ali’s hearse. It’s a job he has carried out countless times before, one that he was born into as the fourth generation to work at A.D. Porter and Sons Funeral Home.
E:60 shares Porter’s memory of that day, a day when he carried out the same professional duties he does all the time, but this time, millions of people were watching.
