Re: Tennis and the Black Middle Class

Is tennis the new golf?

Am I making any sense?
My all Black high school had a tennis team--you could letter in it. Arthur Ashe moved to St. Louis so he could play tennis all year round and not be barred from indoor courts because he was Black. He graduated from my high school and our tennis coach was his personal coach.

I have always played tennis, although not very good.

By the way, that tennis coach was also the uncle of the Hudlin brothers (House Party, Boomerang, etc.)
