Heavyweight
champion Muhammad Ali is pictured being escorted from the Armed Forces
Examining and Entrance Station in Houston, Texas, April 28, 1967, by Lt.
Col. J. Edwin McKee, commandant of the station, after Ali refused Army
induction. Ali was convicted of draft evasion and sentenced to five
years in prison and banned from boxing for three years, though he stayed
out of prison while his case was being appealed and returned to the
ring in 1970.
