(PHOTOS) Black Tennis Hall Of Fame 1st Annual Induction Gala, Grand Hyatt Hotel, Atlanta, Georgia
Saturday, August 6, 2011
What an incredible evening! The excitement of newness, forward movement, and future endeavors was in the air.
At the end of the 94th ATA National Week, the organization closed out with the Black Tennis Hall of Fame 1st Annual Induction Gala. It was so wonderful to be in the midst of those who love tennis, it's history and celebrate the accomplishments of more than worthy participants in the sport. Here are some candids from the event.

You know how you go to events and end up talking to a person or a couple that you've never seen in life, but you have the best time together? That's who these two are!
A very talented, energetic and entertaining musician, violinist Ken Ford. He provided a musical interlude for the Gala and was really good. I purchased his CD after the event.
