I don't think he wanted to walk away from it. I think Elijah Muhammad ordered him to refuse to be drafted and Clay was afraid to cross him. He...
It was an interesting find and certainly adds to the knowledge base.

I don't see anything connecting that census entry with Sonny Liston. Liston was born and grew up in St. Francis County, Arkansas. I may have...
