00:36 The iconic image of Muhammad Ali as a martyr
00:39 for the cause of freedom, both against Vietnam
00:42 and for the civil rights movement,
00:43 is Ali as Saint Sebastian, as expressed by Esquire magazine.
00:49 I said to Hamil Hayes, I got to do another cover of it,
00:52 with Ali.
00:54 He said, what do you have in mind?
00:56 I said, I want to depict Muhammad Ali as Saint Sebastian.
01:01 We have him posing, hands behind his back,
01:05 and slowly pointed to each arrow.
01:08 And he said, Lyndon Johnson, Robert McNamara,
01:14 Clark Clifford, General Westmoreland, Dean
01:18 Rusk, Hubert Humphrey.
01:21 He pointed to each of the six arrows,
01:23 and he pointed at his tormentors.
01:25 So it was like, whoa, unbelievable.
