i tried. i spent too much time looking and its late. The only thing I can can find is that Muhammad Ali took a picture with the statue and if you can find maybe a his autobiography with pictures you end your hunt.

Edit.

I think I found something.

Maybe look for the magazine in the library for this copy or order a back copy then you have your hard copy. ($5.00)

According to Smithsonian magazine, it was located on the second floor of the museum.
