“One of the Americans at the fight said when The Dubliners sang the national anthem, it was like a scene in a western when the Native Americans come over the hill”
When Muhammad Ali visited Dublin to fight Al Blue Lewis he famously asked where do all the black people hang out? He was told there weren’t any. Dave Hannigan has written a marvelous book about that week in Ireland. He talks to Dion Fanning about Ali’s time in Dublin and the people who made it happen.
