Drawings by boxing legend Muhammad Ali up for auction

The painting, called "Sting Like a Bee," was made by Ali in 1978 during the filming of the historical miniseries "Freedom Road" in which he starred, Bonhams auctioneers said.

"There's one that references the race riots in L.A. and Newark in '65 and '67," said Hall.
