I remember the when he announced that he had hiv, and back then it was assumed only gay men got it. He proved it can happen to anyone... and not just through sex. cuddos to him for educating others. RIP, Mr. Ashe... Tennis lost a great soul that day

I have been a tennis fan since I saw Mr Ashe win the inaugural U S Open in 1968 @ Forest Hills. I remember his Wimbledon victory and his dance with the female champ in 1975 Billie Jean King. A great tennis player and a greater person. His courage has inspired many. And he was socially conscience & lent his name and services to promote justice. It is fitting that his is name of the main stadium at the new home of the US Open. He epitomizes what a true American hero should be...Using his celebrity to shine a light on injustices and bringing forth positive change.

I never met the man in my life but my impressions from sports and news coverage was that he was a true class act who did some great work for others before he passed away.

And if 45 gets back into the White House we can say goodbye to all HIV medical care, Medicaid AND Medicare. Project 2025 will destroy all of our social services.

I remember he was the first person I started watching in his sport. My mother loved him and started playing for fun as a senior citizen because of him.

Mary, white history has been since the beginning of time. We now have Black history, Native American History, Asian History Month to recognize the contributions of those who WERE Previously OMITTED from American History. If you go to Constitution Hall in Phily the tour guide now says Constitution left out women, minorities and only included white men. Know your history, Mary!

This was a tragedy of an enormous scope - he was a great man and really fought to educate people about this disease; it wasn't his fault he needed a blood transfusion !!

Phenomenal human being! In the 1980s - 90s, when African Americans were beginning to be "accepted" with values of heroism - he was monumental man for soul-stirring consciousness. I appreciate his lifetime epitaph.
