He was so handsome when he was young. Why do we always only see pics with the crazy oversized gonzo glasses and wiley coyote afro?

Oh I used to love him. I was so very sad when he passed. He would have been proud of all the great young atthletes who have followed in his footsteps I believe. No only in tennis but in other white-dominated sports like golf. He was a living legend taken too soon.

I didn’t know who Arthur Ashe was when I heard that he had AIDS, but he had a death sentence. Nobody lived from AIDS back then, it seems like it was so long ago but it was only 15 years. We have come a long way. I was just about 10 or so but I knew AIDS killed.

My dad told me about Ashe’s life and how he was forced to come out that he had AIDS because a newspaper said that if he didn’t they would.

But this man didn’t get angry or sad or retire. He didn’t stop trying to make the world a better place just because his days were numbered. If anything, he tried to do more once he knew he didn’t have decades.

He is one of my favorite black history figures as you can see. I am so happy to see that UTC is remembering his great life in this way.
