Two Blacks Win At Wimbledon




Two African-Americans won at Wimbledon over the weekend. Do you know who they are?


Of course, the first one is Venus Williams, who won her FOURTH Wimdledon Womens Singles Title on Saturday. Coming into the event ranked No. 31 in the world, Ms. Williams defeated Marion Bartoli of France in straight sets: 6-4, 6-1.


Ms. Williams has previously won Wimbledon in 2000, 2001 and 2005.


Now, can you name the second African-American to win at Wimbledon over the weekend?



His name is Donald Young. He's seventeen years old, and he won the Wimbledon Boys Junior Title. Originally from Chicago, he now lives in Atlanta. He's the youngest boy to win a Men's Junior Grand Slam Title.



Congratulations to both winners.
