279: Sports Innerview 09/02/2023 - Madeleine Blais

Ann visits with author Madeleine Blais about her new book, 'Queen of the Court: The Many Lives of Tennis Legend Alice Marble.' The book shares details about Alice Marble's fascinating life and gives attention to the extraordinary tennis champion who also helped Althea Gibson break the color barrier in tennis, writing a scathing open letter on the importance of the USTA allowing African Americans to play in the U.S. National Championships, now the U.S. Open, in which Gibson gained entry to in 1950, and much more.
