Here stands before you a Negro woman, raised in Harlem, who went on to become a tennis player . . . and finally wind up being a world champion, in fact, the first black woman champion of this world.I always wanted to be somebody. If I made it, it's half because I was game enough to take a lot of punishment along the way and half because there were a lot of people who cared enough to help me. In the field of sports you are more or less accepted for what you do rather than what you are.Most of us who aspire to be tops in our fields don't really consider the amount of work required to stay tops. |
