MAXWELL FORNAH AND VICTOR MUSA
Members of the Single Leg Amputee Sports Club of Sierra Leone can be seen battling it out for the ball in this heartwarming picture. Shot in Freetown, this picture depicts the lingering pain of a decade-long civil war, as well as the human spirit that still dares to be great despite those scars.
MAXWELL FORNAH AND VICTOR MUSA
Survivors of the war founded the Single Leg Amputee Sports Club. The majority of them have been injured by landmines and have lost one or both legs as a result of gunshot wounds. They formed this club to prove to their society and the rest of the world that they are capable individuals who would rather empower themselves than beg for food. In their own communities, they are fighting marginalization.
MUHAMMAD ALI AND SONNY LISTON
Cassius Clay defeated Sonny Liston for the first time in 1964, winning the heavyweight title in a major upset. The 22-year-old champion then changed his name to Muhammad Ali, and he had no reservations about rematching Sonny Liston the following year.

At his peak, Liston was a terrifying figure, and his criminal record drew comparisons to the mob. When they fought again, however, he wouldn’t stand a chance against Ali, as shown in this photo. On May 5, 1965, they fought, and Ali won the title, which he would keep until 1967.
