他的贡献不仅仅局限于球场上
作为前世界第一的网球选手，一生赢得50多个职业冠军（包括三次大满贯），亚瑟·阿什在球场内外都是一名叱咤风云的人物。在UCLA，阿什是第一位入选美国戴维斯杯代表队的非裔美国人，赢得NCAA单打冠军，为UCLA赢得团体冠军。1969年他成为职业球员，在ATP世界巡回赛中开始了自己的传奇生涯。阿什的影响不止在运动场内，他后来还成为权威的人文学家和政治家。他被选入由31位优秀的非裔美国人组成的代表团，去到南非倡导种族一体化。阿什坚持言论自由，因抗议种族隔离和镇压难民而两次被捕入狱。他与UCLA 的渊源被用文字刻在了石头上——为了表彰他的贡献，以他的名字命名——亚瑟·阿什学生健康护理中心。

Arthur Ashe

Class of 1966

His Service Went Far Beyond The Court.

Former No. 1 tennis player in the world and winner of over 50 professional titles including three Grand Slams, Arthur Ashe was a dominant figure on and off the court. At UCLA, Ashe became the first African-American selected to the United States Davis Cup team, won a NCAA singles title and helped UCLA win the NCAA team title. He turned pro in 1969 and went on to have a storied career in the ATP World Tour. Ashe used his influence beyond sports to become a powerful humanitarian and statesman. Part of a 31-person delegation of prominent African-Americans sent to South Africa to advocate for racial integration, Ashe put his own freedom on the line and was arrested twice while protesting apartheid and crackdowns on refugees. His connection to UCLA is literally etched in stone with the Arthur Ashe Student Health and Wellness Center named in his honor.
