Tennis Great Althea Gibson

She was absolutely amazing. With her family, she moved from South Carolina to Harlem in New York City when she was a toddler. It was in Harlem where she grew to love playing sports -- especially tennis. Althea Gibson would go on to make sports history and break through a racial barrier in professional tennis.
Future African American tennis greats such as Arthur Ashe and the Williams Sisters -- Venus and Serena -- would benefit from Althea Gibson's breakthrough. She was the first African American tennis player to compete at both the U.S. National Championships and Wimbledon. Gibson accomplished that in the early 1950s. Later in the 1950s, she won titles at the U.S. Open and Wimbledon.

Take a look at this short informative video.




The gifted sports champ was inducted into the International Women's Sports Hall of Fame and the International Tennis Hall of Fame.     
                                                                                                
Hollywood gave her a short role in major movie starring John Wayne and William Holden. The 1959 release was called THE HORSE SOLDIERS. The story was set during the Civil War. The accomplished and internationally celebrated sports star played -- a plantation maid.

Did you know she could sing too?  She cut a jazz album in the late 1950s called Althea Gibson Sings. Let's take a music break right now with the tennis great singing "Because of You."

Here's another tune.

  3. There's a wealth of pink tennis products available now, for you to benefit a Pink Ribbon Breast Cancer Charity simply by buying pink tennis shoes, bags, tennis apparel, racquets or even pink tennis balls from a participating sporting brand. Wilson (Hope), New Balance, Reebok and others run Pink Campaigns, giving a proportion of their profits to a variety of Breast Cancer Charities, in a determination to draw attention to and financially help those affected by this terrible but treatable illness. Though most efforts are well-meaning (like those above) and do help Pink Ribbon Charities, there's a degree of 'Pink Abuse' at the margins, by companies more intent on profit than any charitable intention. With a little care and observation, you'll be able to weed out these Pink under performers to ensure that the maximum amount of good accrues with your every purchase. Naomi Osaka coach

  14. The doctors said Herpes virus do not have medical cure because the virus is capable of hiding within the human cells, it remains protected from your immune system. Herpes isn’t a special virus – your immune system has the tools to fight it back. But because it is able to lay dormant in protected cells, your immune system is unable to remove it from your body,But with strong reactive herbal medication is capable of getting rid of the virus gradually and totally from your body without damaging any of your cells,natural herbs kills the virus totally not just reducing the out break.
