To honor both Black History Month and National Wear Red Day for women's heart health, we are celebrating the life of Althea Gibson. Althea Gibson was the first African-American woman to be invited to the Wimbledon tennis tournament and the first to win the Wimbledon tennis tournament. Althea's perseverance and determination to pursue what she loved is a true model of an American hero. Althea paved the way for future tennis players and young African-American girls to believe they too, could become successful athletes in a male dominant world. On behalf of the SportsMechanics.com management team I am honored to say, "Thank you" to Althea Gibson and all she stood for!
