The Arthur Ashe Learning Center was founded by Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe in 2008 to promote Arthur’s legacy and values. Sport, education, service, citizenship, health and wellness were central themes of the programming, which included a supplementary black history month curriculum used in schools and after school programs in six cities; the Inspirational Tour, a touring exhibit sharing Arthur’s life story using memorabilia, multimedia and interactive digital components that received over 8,500 visitors; and the former ArthurAshe.org, a website for all things Arthur Ashe. The AALC also ran a booth at the US Open which shared educational materials and was a supplementary source of fundraising in addition to the generous contributions from people and organizations around the globe. After accomplishing these goals, the AALC transitioned these and other programs to UCLA where they became part of the Arthur Ashe Legacy Fund, continuing the AALC’s educational mission at Arthur’s alma mater.

We are a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that is building a better government and a stronger democracy.
