#BlackHistoryWithTunde Born on August 29, 1927, in Silver, South Carolina, and raised in the Harlem section of New York City. Prolific at many sports, she began playing tennis as a teenager. After winning two junior national titles at the ages of 17 and 18, she would later proceed to win the national Black women’s championship (ATA) ten times in a row.

Althea Gibson developed a love of tennis at an early age, but in the 1940s and '50s, most tournaments were closed to African Americans. Gibson kept playing (and winning) until her skills could no longer be denied, and in 1951, she became the first African American to play at Wimbledon. Gibson won the women's singles and doubles at Wimbledon in 1957 and won the U.S. Open in 1958.

At the conclusion of the 1958 season, Gibson had won 58 combined singles and doubles titles. She had compiled an impressive 53-9 record at the majors (16-1 at Wimbledon; 27-7 at the U.S.; 6-0 at the French; 4-1 at the Australian) and had been a member of the 1957 and 1958 Wightman Cup teams, helping the team win a championship in 1957.

Gibson was the No. 1 ranked player in the world, however there wasn’t much money to be made in professional women’s tennis, so she turned her attention to professional golf, and in 1964, at age 37, became the first African-American woman to join the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) tour.

Gibson’s widely distributed quote read, “I always wanted to be somebody. If I made it, it’s half because I was game enough to take a lot of punishment along the way and half because there were a lot of people who cared enough to help me.” 24/11/2022
