LOS ANGELES (KABC) — A new mural, decades in the making, honors tennis trailblazer Jimmie McDaniel.
Before there were the Williams sisters, Arthur Asher or Althea Gibson, there was Jimmie McDaniel.
He was the first Black tennis player at his high school, Manual Arts, in Los Angeles, leading them to a league championship.
His family, in attendance at the ceremony, was proud to watch the unveiling of his mural on his old stomping grounds.
