Today’s celebration of Black History Month recognizes athlete, Arthur Ashe. Ashe, a renowned tennis player, began playing tennis at age seven and later attended UCLA on a tennis scholarship. During his career, Ashe earned the intercollegiate singles and doubles titles as the first African American champion, as well as being the first African-American male to win the US Open (1968), Australian Open (1970), and Wimbledon (1975). Over time, Ashe grew as an activist, author, educator, and advocate for civil rights and racial equality in both the United States and worldwide, speaking out against the apartheid systems in South Africa. After two coronary bypass surgeries requiring blood transfusions in 1979 and 1983, Ashe contracted HIV. He then devoted his time and effort to educate the public about the virus, breaking down stereotypes and heightening advocacy. During his life and posthumously, Ashe was given many honors, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom. 

Mark your calendars for Your Voice Matters, the Women in Sports Event at Curtis High School, on Monday, February 24, from 6:00 to 8:30pm. There will be breakout sessions with questions and a panel filled with an influential Curtis alumni, Curtis athletes, and coaches. Parents and children are welcome. There will be food and refreshments provided.
