“There were times when I asked myself whether I was being principled or simply a coward.... I was wrapped in the cocoon of tennis early in life, mainly by blacks like my most powerful mentor, Dr. Robert Walter Johnson of Lynchburg, Virginia. They insisted that I be unfailingly polite on the court, unfalteringly calm and detached, so that whites could never accuse me of meanness. I learned well. I look at photographs of the skinny, frail, little black boy that I was in the early 1950s, and I see that I was my tennis racquet and my tennis racquet was me. It was my rod and my staff.” WellsLooksLittlesBlackPowerfulBoysCourtPhotographCalmTennisMost PowerfulCowardMentorStaffDrsPoliteSkinnyJohnsonVirginiaDetachedMeannessFrailCocoonsPrincipledBlack Boy Author:Arthur Ashe
