I was talking to a Los Gatos High School student today. And we discussed how some people say “All Lives Matter!” She equated it to a parent with two kids. One of the kids goes outside to play and falls and skins his or her knee. The kid runs into the house mom gives the child a bandaid. The other sibling who is not hurt, ask for a bandaid too. Why? Because “All lives Matter!”

Why is former Sharks player Alex Hult being sued by his landlord? He created the FEED THE NEED initiative that helped the most vulnerable populations. That included frail seniors, shut-ins, unsheltered individuals, and food-insecure families.

Department of Justice request letter to release only the Ali/Liston 64/65 Fights part of the FBI File

After years of discussion and negotiations with the FBI, I was able to finally prove with the help of the DOJ, that J. Edgar Hoover was more concerned with the NOI than the Ali/Liston Fights. I tried my best to get the FBI to release the Ali/ Liston Fights FBI file separate from the larger file that was released a while back, while Mr. Ali was still alive, but I ran out of time. Mr. Ali passed away, and I was at a loss to what to do. I decided that I would persist in my need for the FBI to release the file, thinking that I could still bring about closure to this chapter of Mr. Ali’s and Sonny’s life. Luckily for me, the FBI released the file unannounced on the fights separately from the larger file, they had released almost a decade ago, without announcing it. The world can finally see what the Liston and Ali families have always known, and that is that there was no fix. May Sonny, Mr. Ali, and Geraldine, finally rest in peace.

Dear Mr. Micheal Kortan, my name is Lynel Gardner and I’m in charge of the Sonny Liston Estate. I’m the grandson of Sonny Liston, and I’m in charge of all business of the estate. The 1964/ 65 fights between Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston, were considered at the time, to be fixed by the public at large, and the press. And all parties involved, including the families, managers, and promoters, were considered to have been involved in some type of conspiracy to fool the public. But the FBI and J. Edgar Hoover knew that this was not true. The FBI File Number 172-31 on Charles “Sonny” Liston, clearly shows that the FBI did not want to open an investigation on the Sonny Liston/ Ali fights. Because the FBI knew that the fights weren’t fixed.

The FBI felt that the press was basing its leads off of rumors. And the FBI did not trust the press. The FBI had just investigated boxing in 1960, and would just continue to rely on its continued wiretapping, boxing experts, informants, and contacts, within the boxing commission nationwide. The problem was that Mr. J. Edger Hoover, never released his findings to the general public and the press at that time, and 52 years later, the speculations surrounding the fights, have become the source of movies, books, and have continued to bring shame and humiliation to all families involved with the fights. Casting a negative shadow, over this two great titans.Mr. Ali and Sonny Liston were best friends, and our families have been close since the fights. I knew that Mr. Ali’s health was getting worse and worse for years. My goal for the past twelve years was to bring a resolution to this case and to redeem the Muhammad Ali and the Sonny Liston names.

My goal was to do this before Mr. Ali died. Unfortunately, I was not able to accomplish this while he was still alive. But in death, I still have the chance, with your help, to allow Mr. Ali, his fans, family, the press, the opportunity to see these fights, in a different light. I cannot do this without the help of the FBI, who I feel have the responsibility to let it finally be known, to the press and the general public, that these fights were not fixed. And to clear both fighters, of any wrongdoing. And allow this story to come to its conclusion. I would like you, Mr. Kortan, along with Mr. James Comey if possible, along with myself, to hold a press conference, to submit our statements and finding. Mr. Kortan, I would like you to explain during the press conference, the details of why Mr. Hoover at the time, chose not to present his findings to the public and the press, and to discuss why Mr. Hoover believed that there was no fix.

And to also explain, why Mr. Hoover and the FBI believed, that an open investigation was not necessary. I have spoken to your historian Mr. John Fox, and he is currently reviewing the Sonny Liston file, and he will be getting back to me in about a week. I look forward to speaking with you soon about this matter. Sincerely, Lynel GardnerSonny Liston Estate
