For those who have iplayer, the bbc has a 90 minute documentary on the remarkable Arthur Ashe - it is a biopic of his life, some great tennis action but also an amazing portrayal of the life and influence in society of a black man playing and thriving in a white mans sport and in a white society. His influence his felt today in so many ways, from BLM through his AIDS Foundations,
it is a thoughtful and wonderful, touching and yet uplifting story of a great person taken far too early.
