A new U.S. Forever Stamp has been unveiled honoring a cultural force who fused athletic brilliance with political conviction and showmanship.

Muhammad Ali, widely regarded as the most famous and influential boxer of all time, once joked that he should be a postage stamp because “that’s the only way I’ll ever get licked.”
