Interview with Cecil Harris, Author of the book Different Strokes: Serena, Venus and the unfinished Black Tennis Revolution

from Correctly Mistaken · host Wes Cherry

In this episode of Correctly Mistaken, I had the privilege to chat with Author Cecil Harris, who wrote the book "Different Strokes: Serena, Venus and the unfinished Black Tennis Revolution." We discuss the history of African Americans in Tennis. How now still in the year 2020 Tennis is still the least progressive in professional sports in terms of people of color working within Tennis, even though the biggest stars of the sport are African American Women. We discussed an array of topics from the issue of unarmed killings to of people of color by Law Enforcement in America to how it was being the first ever Black New York Yankees beat reporter.
