Incredible story of how tennis legend Arthur Ashe's brother took a second tour of duty with the marines to ensure Arthur could play in the inaugural US Open.

...wow.
That is an incredible story of sacrifice and selflessness, and I admit to getting a little choked up at the end there. Very, very moving and something that I never knew about Arthur Ashe's life. Thanks for sharing that.

Is this about the (former?) Michigan chemistry professor Arthur Ashe?

I'll be honest, I had never really heard of Arthur Ashe before. I assumed this thread had come up because of the U.S. Open this week, but this is a quality watch.

That is one of the most inspiring things I have ever seen.

Not ashamed to say I got choked up at the end of it. Very well done, and a great story of love and selflessness.
