Florida A&M University’s significance in Florida tennis extends to being the place where Althea Gibson, a trailblazing African-American tennis icon, both studied and played tennis. Her time at FAMU was instrumental in shaping her tennis career, and her subsequent breaking of the color barrier at the U.S. Nationals marked a pivotal moment in the sport’s history. FAMU continues to stand as a symbol of diversity and inclusion in Florida tennis, inspiring generations of players.
