I saw a documentary on Arthur Ashe last year and I was not aware of his activism.
Sure, I knew about his breaking barriers in the tennis world, but beyond that I wasn’t “aware” of him.
He gave, beyond his advocacy for those with HIV/AIDS, but in the fight against apartheid in South Africa.
His life is a testament to living both sides of this quote…
He got the chance to win 3 grand slam singles titles…which gave him a living.
He gave his heart and soul to supporting causes that meant the world to him (and the world) and making that kind of passion a richer life.
