A WORD FROM OUR FOUNDER DR. DALE G. CALDWELL

 Since our founding in 2007, we have recognized the accomplishments of individuals who broke through barriers of race and class in tennis. The Black Tennis Hall of Fame has made every effort to ensure that these legends will remain a part of tennis history forever.

 

We induct some extraordinary tennis icons and recognize amazing regional legends. Our hope is that generations of future tennis players and fans of all races and backgrounds will be inspired by the unique ways in which our inductees and regional legends overcame personal and societal challenges to achieve extraordinary success in the sport.

 

I am confident that you will be inspired by the incredible accomplishments of the people we honor into this historic program.

  

 

Dr. Dale G. Caldwell
