On Her Mark

The woman that broke the color barrier in women's tennis. Altheat Gibson.

Before Serena. Before Venus. There was Althea Gibson.

In 1956, she became the first Black player to win a Grand Slam singles title, and she kept going, winning Wimbledon and the U.S. Nationals the following year.

She stepped onto courts that weren't always ready to welcome her and made history anyway. The generations that came after her had a door to walk through because Althea helped open it.

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Althea Gibson.

Arizona State University is hosting a women in baseball presentation (via zoom) about the history of women in the game of baseball from its origins to the present day. The focus will not just be on those who play the game, but also on owners and umpires. The movie “A League of Their Own” has introduced many to the idea that women played baseball, but the story is much deeper, revealing the challenges and triumphs of women who want to be a part of America’s National Pastime. Attendees will learn about individual players, teams, leagues and much more.
