Happy birthday to Arthur Ashe, a champion whose legacy reached far beyond the tennis court.
In 1975, he became the first Black man to win Wimbledon, but that was only one part of a life defined by courage, purpose, and service.
From speaking out against apartheid to using his platform for civil rights, health equity, and AIDS awareness, Ashe showed what it meant to make history and then keep showing up for others.
A champion in every sense of the word.
