Available to schools, churches, community centers and other venues Feb. 1-28, 2027.
In 1955, Althea Gibson and Angela Buxton were world-ranked tennis players … yet no one wanted to partner with them in women’s doubles.

Althea, a black woman from Harlem, and Angela, a Jewish woman from Liverpool, decided to join forces outside their own country. What happened then made history.
