What university awarded Muhammad Ali an honorary doctorate in 1979?

The university that awarded Muhammad Ali an honorary doctorate in 1979 was Texas Southern University.

The degree was an honorary doctorate of humane letters. Texas Southern University is a historically Black public university in Houston, Texas, and Ali received the honor during the 1978–79 academic year.

This was separate from Ali’s later honorary doctorate from Princeton University, which he received in 2007. Morehouse College, Yale, and Harvard are not the institution associated with the 1979 award.

Ali accumulated honorary degrees and other recognitions throughout his life, reflecting both his boxing achievements and his humanitarian work.
