Ashe Weekend Commemorates Tennis Star's Legacy
On what would have been ten
nis great Arthur Ashe's 50th birth
day, family and friends are gather
ing in the athlete's hometown to pay
tribute to his achievements.
Gov. L. Douglas Wilder, poet
" Maya Angeiou and civil rights
leader Andrew Young were among
those expected to attend a private
service this week to dedicate a gran
ite monument at Asfce's grave.
- "After he achieved his world
renown fame, he never forgot Rich
mond,** Wilder said Friday. "He
would always come back and we
would ... see each other and talk
about how Richmond has changed,
how the state has changed, how the
South has changed, and how
pleased we were to be products of
: some of that change.'*
Wilder, the nation's first black
elected governor, was a close friend
of Ashe and one of the few people
Ashe called before the tennis star
revealed to the world that he had
AIDS.
Ashe died Feb. 6 of AIDS
related pneumonia in New York
City and returned to Richmond a
final time to be laid to rest.
Bom July 10, 1943, Ashe left a
segregated Richmond just after high
school to pursue a tennis career. The
only black man ever to win the
Wimbledon and U.S. Open champi
L
onships, he wrote several books
chronicling the struggles, heartaches
and triumphs of blacks in sports.
He also worked tirelessly on
behalf of human rights and AIDS
research, founding the Arthur Ashe
Foundation for the Defeat of AIDS,
and joined the boards of the Harvard
AIDS Institute and the UCLA AIDS
Institute.
A portrait of Ashe by Rich
Arthur Ashe in a 1985 file photo.
mond artist Louis Bricl was donated
last Thursday to the Smithsonian
Institution by the state and Virginia
Heroes Inc., a mentoring group for
which Ashe served as an honorary
chairman.

Baltimore NAACP Wants National Office to
Apologize for Endorsing Charlotte's NFL Bid
BALTIMORE ? The Balti
more chapter of the NAACP would
like to hear the organization's
national leaders apologize for
endorsing Charlotte*s bid for a
National Football League franchise.
George N. Buntin Jr., execu
tive director of the NAACP's Balti
more branch, said he told a repre
sentative of the national organiza
tion Sunday that "local membership
is incensed.**
"I told him nothing short of
an out-and-out admittance that they
made a mistake and that they owe
this city and this state and this chap
ter an apology will do/* Buntin
said.
The National Association for
? the Advancement of Colored Peo
ple, which has its headquarters in
Baltimore, announced an agreement
last week with Charlotte's prospec
tive NFL team owner, Jerome J.
Richardson.
The pact promotes opportuni
ties for blacks within Richardson *s
Flag star Cos. Inc. of Spartanburg,
S.C., and promises minority partici
pation in a prospective NFL team's
management, stadium construction
and as suppliers.
"They fumbled the ball on
this one by not touching base with
us," said Rodney Orange, president
of the city NAACP branch.
Hie Rev. John L. Wright,
president of the Maryland confer
ence of NAACP branches, agreed.
"The executive director
doesn't understand the sensitivity of
this matter," Wright said.
In a news conference
announcing the deal, NAACP exec
utive director Benjamin F. Chavis
Jr. said his organization would
"help out in any way possible" for
Charlotte to get the franchise.
Bun tin said Chavis then com
pounded the problem by releasing a
five-paragraph statement Saturday
that neither apologized to Baltimore
nor backed away from the Charlotte
endorsement
"Anybody in public life will
make mistakes sometimes. That's
forgivable," Buntin said. "But the
inability to admit a mistake and
apologize for it is less forgivable.' '
Mayor Kurt L. Schmoke isn't
looking for an apology.
"Since they decided to get
themselves involved in the process,
they ought to look at the fact that
the NFL is going to select two
cities, so I think they ought to
endorse Baltimore, too," the mayor
said Sunday.
The other cities vying for an
NFL franchise are Memphis, St.
Louis and Jacksonville, Fla.
Schmoke said Sunday he
believes the football endorsement
will be an issue at the NAACP's
annual convention next weekend.
The event will be held in Indianapo
lis, the home of Baltimore's old
football team, the Colts.
Joyner to Co-chair President's Council
-Oiympic4rack iter Florence
Griffith Joyner remembers grow
ing up in Watts and striving to
earn patches from the President's
Council on Physical Fitness and
Spoits.
The effort paid off. Last
week, the woman known as "Flo
Jo" will be sworn in by President
Clinton as co-chair of the Presi
dent's Council, along with Tom
McMillan, the former congress
man and basketball star.
"That's what kids need,"
she said during a workout near
her Orange County home. They
need an incentive program, and
that's what we're trying to devel
