This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features someone who knows our host well. Carolyn Archie, the mother of Courier Journal sports columnist C.L. Brown, was recently honored with a Lash Southern Award for her tennis career and is this week's guest. Archie, who was recognized ahead of last month's Winston-Salem Open, talks about being selected to train at Hall of Famer Dr. R.W. Johnson's elite tennis camp for young Black players during segregation. She shares how she once taught Arthur Ashe how to dance. And she explains why she didn't force her son, C.L. Brown, to play tennis as a kid.
