Muhammad Ali flies into San Diego from Los Angeles On July 18, 1967, Cassius Clay, now known as Muhammad Ali, flew into San Diego from Los Angeles to obtain documents confirming his role in calming down a crowd in southeast San Diego after Gilman and Keen were pummeled as they tried to interview him. He said he needed the documents to prove his peaceful intentions at a federal court hearing where he sought permission to leave the country for personal appearances in Japan. He needed permission because he was free on bond while appealing his 5-year conviction for refusing to serve in the armed forces. At the airport, Keen asked Ali about the racial violence in the country. CBS 8 is the local source for San Diego breaking news and top story headlines.
