While much has been written about black triumphs in boxing, baseball, and other sports, little has been said of similar accomplishments in tennis. In this book, the first is the first volume dedicated to that subject, Sundiata Djata more than cites facts and figures, he explores obstacles to such performance such as the discrimination that kept blacks out of pro tennis for decades. He examines the role that this white sport traditionally played in the black community. And he provides keen insights into the politics of professional sports and the challenges faced by today's black players.

Drawing on original and published interviews, life writings, and newspaper articles, the author offers an in-depth look at black participation in tennis: from the first courts in Tuskegee in 1880, to players Reginald Weir and Gerald Norman, Jr., who challenged racism in the U. S. Lawn Tennis Association in the 1920s; from Harlem teen Bob Ryland's historic match with two white women in 1944 to the achievements of acclaimed later stars like Althea Gibson, Arthur Ashe, Yannick Noah, and Venus and Serena Williams.

Thoroughly researched and comprehensive in scope, the work's eventual two volumes will cover identity and black tennis in aboriginal Australia, North and South Africa, the Caribbean and the Americas. it is an ideal read for tennis players, sports historians, readers of black history and/or black sports figures, and all who are interested in the sport.

A sweet potato for a fussy little girl no more 😁
I have a little Jack Russell and she is a fussy little thing😂 I’ve gone through so many treats that she won’t eat but when I found these treats, she loves them and that’s all I have to go off of is that my fussy little dog loves these treats,so to me they’re a good treat, but that doesn’t mean every dog is gonna love them so I just want to make that clear. I hope your dog will enjoy them the way my little girl does.😉

Dogs love these sweetpotato treats
Flavor Name: Sweet Potato, Size: 2 Pound (Pack of 1)
We dogsit grandkids’ dogs. Grandson sent a half bag of these and a full bag of another brand of Sweetpotato treats. The dogs actually spit out the new brand and refused to eat them. We have a tiny dog, a middle dog and a big dog. They ALL went crazy over thesetreats. They are very healthy treats. Works for all size dogs. The bag tells how much to feed each size dog? Grandma was the treat lady so I won big time ..We were worried cuz we had never watched the dogs before. We actually had a great time and hated to see them go.They really looked forward to their treat time. 😋
