arthur ashe faced a lot of backlash. have we, you know, progressed? say, look, there's always going to be people there to put them in their place, right? and that's what -- because they're trying to silence them, because they understand how powerful a voice a kaepernick has or an arthur ashe has. you just have to, if you're an athlete, you know, thinking about, should i get in, you have to follow that path of arthur ashe and just push through it. you get criticism, but at the end of the day, it's more important that you do your job as a global citizen. >> you know, going back to arthur ashe, although he was a prominent activist for racial injustice abroad, he was very reluctant and very quiet to publicly share his hiv status. why do you think that was? why was it so much harder to speak up about it in, i think it was back in the 1980s. >> yeah, so, he finds out in 1988, he believes he contracted it in 1983 and what he was saying is that he was trying to protect his family. so, at that time, and many people probably don't remember, but if you had aids,

right for you. >>> before colin kaepernick kneeled and lebron james wore a hoodie, tennis legend arthur ashee it was popular to do so, risking public backlash. last sunday, we celebrated june teeth. this sunday, a new cnn film on ashe's life. here's a look. >> he had evolved to someone who became about more and more direct action. >> did you get to south africa feeling that you could change things just by playing tennis? >> i'm not presumptuous enough to think i can change anything. >> he wanted black south af africans to see a free black man. and the possibilities a free black man could live. >> his impact was huge. joining me now is louis moore a history professor at grand state valley university. professor, welcome. >> thank you for having me. >> it's great that you can be here this late evening. we just heard arthur ashe talking about wanting to be an inspiration to black south africans. can you give us a sense of what kind of backlash he might have been receiving for speaking out loud and clear against about paratide? >> yeah, so, when he goes to south africa in 1973, the backlash is th

look, arthur ashe was a black tennis player in a predominantly white sport. of influence do you think ashe had on you and the sports world? >> yeah,'d tremendous influence on myself and to your point it was, you know, the fact that he was a black player playing in a white sport, i could definitely relate to what arthur ashe went through. it's easy, i think it would be easier if i was a football player or a basketball player to speak out on these issues because you have more support around you with your teammates that look like you, but when you're playing a sport like hockey or a sport like tennis sometimes i feel like you are on a bit of an island. i gain a lot of strength and a lot of courage from watching him, listening to what arthur ashe went through when he played tennis. >> you worked so hard to become and stay a successful player but also worked so hard and developed over time as an advocate. how hard is it to speak out as an athlete? >> you know, it's hard if you don't have the support of your team or your organization that you work for, but i've been
