The late Arthur Ashe Jr. was a trailblazing giant on the tennis court and in advocating for human rights and social change. Now, the Richmond native is celebrated in a larger-than-life mural at the Henrico Sports & Events Center.
Henrico County officials, members of Ashe’s family and others unveiled the mural Feb. 4 to kick off Black History Month. It’s vinyl mounted on a wall among exhibits of the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame and includes interactive features available through a mobile app. Ashe, a native of Richmond, was inducted into the Hall in 1979.
The 16-by-12-foot work - titled "Arthur Ashe's Journey" - commemorates Ashe's extensive accomplishments and career milestones, which include becoming the first Black player to win a men’s singles title at Wimbledon in 1975.
