How Arthur Ashe became the first black male to win the men's singles championship at Wimbledon.

He was a great man and a gentleman. He was also captain of the Davis Cup team. John McEnroe lived Ashe. Sadly, he got a raw deal in life. RIP

I am writing a high-school research paper on Arthur
Ashe. My God what an Amazing American Champion!.

[Excaspat]

I read his book. An extremely intelligent individual.

Once you won in Wimbledon, you're forever a legend in the annals of tennis. Arthur Ashe, legend. ❤

Everyone should be treated the same no matter what race or gender you are. Everyone is capable of amazing things and to anyone who doesn’t believe that this is one of many many examples.
Follow your dreams, never give up, and don’t let anyone’s words define your capability.
You are awesome. 😎

Well done Arthur, you never be forgotten Wimbledon champion I can just imagine back in those times you’re even more the champion than Today because it’s a lot more easier now black people accepted

You know on the one, the video, the Olympics one he really did a good thing, keeping that promise to squeeze

Pretty sure you don’t have to censor the word Negro. It gives off the impression especially with that I in the caption that the other word was used. It was not.

Those were dark times when racism was widely accepted.

We are about to return to this with big steps.

‘Not very much of a man at 6ft1’.. wow! In this world he’s definately more than a man

And Came Tiger Woods, and ruined it for the White man for good.

I'm sure he was a nice guy. Don't think that justifies naming a national stadium after him when others have 3-4 times as many grand slams.

But we want to look at when "wokeness" as an agenda took precedence over developing young American talent....this is the spot. How long has it been since an America male won a major? Oh right, that's not important.
