Muhammad Ali made a sentimental journey Tuesday to discover his Irish roots, and met distant relatives during celebrations at the local town hall. Thousands lined the streets of Ennis, Ireland, to cheer his motorcade as the three-time heavyweight champion visited the home of his great-grandfather Abe Grady. Ali, who is 67 and battling Parkinson’s disease, fought once in Ireland, knocking out Alvin Lewis in 1972. Grady settled in Kentucky in the 1860s and married a freed slave. One of their grandchildren, Odessa Lee Grady Clay, gave birth to Ali — then Cassius Clay — in 1942. The Associated Press
