Althea Gibson and Arthur Ashe: Breaking Down Tennis’s Color Barrier
Jackie F Stanmyre
Barriers have existed to deny people the chance to compete athletically based on their race, ethnic background, or sex.

Althea Gibson integrated tennis competition at its highest levels, and Arthur Ashe used his success to challenge racism and apartheid, and later to raise AIDS awareness.
