Ep 18 - The Struggles And Great Contributions Of Black Players In Tennis. Also, Let's Educate Ourselves
Tennis And Bagels Podcast · Andre Rolemberg, Vansh Vermani, Owen Lewis
Show Notes
Althea Gibson, Arthur Ashe, MaliVai Washington, the Williams Sisters, Naomi Osaka, Coco Gauff, Jo Wilfred Tsonga and many more. They contributed and continue to contribute to bring the sport I love forward. But they are valued, not because they are accomplished tennis players, but because they are humans and their lives matter. Black Lives Matter.
Ways to help:
Always have a call to action: Just posting and arguing when it's trending is not enough. In fact, if you don't post anything and do your work to help at any level you can, it's better than trying to get a stamp of approval by using hashtags.
