Is Muhammad Ali an American Hero?

I am not American but if he's not then I don't know who would be. The term "hero" could mean many different things to many different people though.

I guess "hero's" are a little like beauty, it's in the eye of the beholder. In my humble opinion Ali is a hero to many Americans, and just guessing, i'd say if you ask most black Americans if Ali was a hero, the overwhelming majority would say yes.

I agree that "hero" could mean many different things to many different people, like someone said, hero's don't have to be perfect and none ever are.
