As an organization that primarily serves black students and families, we strive to celebrate Black Culture, achievements and figures that empower our students. Marc Atkinson, MWYF's Director of Tennis, is a reflection of Black Excellence in the community. He was one of the first students to be impacted by the Foundation and has truly taken advantage of all his opportunities. As the Director of Tennis, he continues to be a shining role model for all our students and encourages them to be their best in the classrooms and on the tennis courts.
For Black History Month the USTA interviewed Coach Marc on what Black History is in his own words. "It’s important that we celebrate Black History Month because Black youngsters need to see Black excellence—but we should not just celebrate one month out of the year; Black history should be celebrated all year long, and especially in tennis."
