Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. - The Arthur Ashe Legacy Program at UCLAFrom offering scholarships and internships to current students who exemplify Arthur Ashe’s values to conducting an international oral history project that highlights his enormous impact and showcases lessons for today, we are dedicated to honoring the tennis and humanitarian great’s legacy with substantive actions for today’s students and scholars.Arthur Ashe was a top ranked tennis player in the 1960s and 70s. Raised in the segregated South, he was the first African-American male tennis player to win a Grand Slam tournament. He was much more than an athlete though. His commitment to social justice, health and humanitarian issues left a mark on the world as indelible as his tennis was on the court.
