So I guess this is the part I come up with some clever stuff to say about myself but....I'd rather not. I'd rather have a conversation with you and exchange this information :) As far as my blog goes...if it makes me laugh or smile the slightest, I think its cute or their attractive, or if I feel strongly about something it will show up here. You like??? Then follow. 9 times out of 10 I will follow back. And if you don't follow thanks for stopping by anyways :)

A gifted tennis player, Althea Gibson set numerous records by being the first African American to win at some of the most prestigious tennis courts in the world. In times of racial segregation Althea Gibson’s most difficult opponent was racism and ignorance. It wasn’t until 1950 that 23 year old Althea Gibson was allowed to compete in the U.S. Nationals. In 1956 Gibson became the first African American to win the French open and following year she became the first African American, male or female to win a championship at Wimbledon. That same year she won her first U.S. National tournament.
