Can one conversation save a person's life?

In 1981, boxer Muhammad Ali was passing by a skyscraper when he saw a black man standing in a window preparing to commit suicide. He decided to go to the apartment next door and talk to the black man who was trying to jump off the building.

In a chat that lasted less than 10 minutes, Ali said of the black man:

"You're black, and American racists have tried to kill you countless times, but you're not dead. Don't give up your life, a lot of white people will be happy to see you jump from here. ”

After listening to Ali's words, the black man gave up jumping off the building, and he later received financial help from boxer Muhammad Ali.
