Answer:

The setting of the book is Kentucky during the 1940s-60s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Walter Dean Myers' "The Greatest: Muhammad Ali" is about the young Cassius Clay who would later become Muhammad Ali, the world's greatest boxer. What made him more famous was his background, his growing up years amidst racial segregation against his people, the blacks.

The setting of a story refers to the time or place of the story. This literary element reveals where or at what time the story takes place. Water Dean Myers' short narrative is set during the mid-20th century. It is set in the state of Kentucky in the American South during the middle of the 20th century.
