This is one wonderful book. Before I read Breaking the Color Barrier in Tennis, David k. Wright, I have to be honest, I had never heard of Arthur Ashe. It such a shame that there are thousands of people out there, just like me, who never heard of such famous and extraordinary people. Instead, we know about all the negative parts of life, such as drugs and how to use them. They should pick up this book and maybe they will learn something from it. This was a great short book on an amazing man. I hate it when you start reading a book and it is so hard to understand because the author uses confusing words. It seems like you're reading a foreign language. But this book was easy to read and understand. In such a small number of pages, the author writes exactly about whom Arthur Ashe was and what he was about. Even though discrimination towards black people was still going strong during his time, it didn't stop this great black tennis legend from his great accomplishments. And even when he knew that all those accomplishments where going to disappear, due to his diagnose of the AIDS virus from a blood transfusion, he still fought strong and tried to make the best of his last days.
