Dr. Robert Walter Johnson:
A Mighty Force Inducted Into
the Tennis Hall of Fame
Whirlwind. The name evokes a mighty force that swept across the American
tennis landscape, shaking the foundations of the racially-segregated
status quo; lifting up, shaping and nurturing talented youth, otherwise
excluded because of the color of their skin; leaving in its wake a proud
legacy for our people and our nation to build upon. Dr. Robert Walter

BLACK TENNIS (BT) magazine is a sports publication that
highlights African Americans who participate in tennis
tournaments, activities and related events. Feature
articles are published about professional, amateur and junior
players as they participate in local, national and international
events. Activities of the American Tennis Association and other
clubs are covered in each issue. Also, special attention is
given to tennis instruction, book reviews, and junior
development programs.
9,000 copies of this publication
are produced on a quarterly schedule and distributed to all
members of the American Tennis Association and via subscription
to a national market.
Since 1977, we have endeavored to
stimulate the awareness and patronage of the public regarding
African American participation in tennis. Over the years,
we have seen an increase in the number of players and a greater
concern for getting more minorities in tennis. |
