US Court hears Ali's attorney seeks war-objector ruling
Chicago lawyer Chauncey Eskridge told the Supreme Court that Muhammad Ali should be declared a conscientious objector due to his Black Muslim faith and general war opposition. He argued the draft authorities were misled by a letter framing Ali's stance as racial and political rather than religious, as Ali fights a five-year sentence and $10,000 fine for refusing induction in 1967.
