In 1956, she became the first African American to win a Grand Slam title by winning the French Championships. The following year she won both Wimbledon and the US Nationals (precursor of the US Open), then won both again in 1958, and was voted Female Athlete of the Year by the Associated Press in both years

“She is one of the greatest players who ever lived,” said Bob Ryland, a tennis contemporary and former coach of Venus and Serena Williams. “Martina Navratilova couldn’t touch her. I think she’d beat the Williams sisters.”

In the early 1960s she also became the first Black player to compete on the Women’s Professional Golf Tour

Before Venus & Serena Williams, there was Margaret and Matilda Peters. They were nicknamed “Pete” and “Repeat” for their doubles playing skills and last name. The Peters Sisters attended Tuskegee University in 1937.
While they were in college, segrègation laws did not allow African Americans to compete against Whit£s, so the Peters sisters played in the American Tennis Association (ATA), which was created specifically to give African Americans a forum to play tennis competitively.
After graduating from Tuskegee University in 1942, they both continued to play tennis in the American Tennis Association. They won 14 Doubles Tennis titles between 1938 and 1953. Despite their great skill, the sisters were never allowed to compete against the great whit£ Doubles Players of the time.
By the time the walls of segregation in tennis started falling, the Peters sisters were past their prime and were never able to compete in racially integrated matches. However, they gained fame as tennis stars. Margaret and Matilda Peters were inducted into the Tuskegee Hall of Fame in 1977.

2025 Palm Beach Capos Registration

Team owner Arthur M. Blank recently announced the addition of four history-making limited partners to the ownership group for the Atlanta Falcons, including iconic gymnast Dominique Dawes and powerhouse film producer Will Packer.

This move is a significant shift for the NFL, one that prioritizes diversity, representation, and impactful leadership. Dominique Dawes is already a legend. As a member of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics gymnastics team, she became the first African American woman to win Olympic gold in the sport.

Will Packer, renowned for producing films that celebrate diversity and inclusion, brings a fresh perspective to the Falcons' ownership. His career in entertainment has consistently highlighted the importance of seeing yourself reflected in positions of power.
