When a curious five-year-old Lenny Simpson finally convinced his mother to let him visit the mysterious tennis court behind his house in Wilmington, N.C., he walked through the gates of Dr. Hubert Eaton's "black country club," and his life was transformed. From that first day, when he met the great Althea Gibson and she gave him his first tennis racket, to the years of tournaments and training under the guidance of black tennis giants Dr. Eaton and Dr. R. Walter Johnson, to a meaningful friendship with the legendary Arthur Ashe, Lenny Simpson walked an extraordinary path in the company of greatness. His incredible story is marked by determination, vision, and a commitment to upholding the legacy of those who inspired him along the way.
