James Blake was born in New York, but he grew up here in
Connecticut. He started playing tennis at five, and was inspired
to pursue a professional career after hearing a speech by Arthur
Ashe.
In 2015, James was thrown to the ground, handcuffed, and
arrested by a plainclothes New York City cop who said he believed
James was a suspect of interest.
He has used that experience to take an active stand on police
brutality against minorities. James' experience is particularly
meaningful today, as we all look for a path forward.
I hope that you will RSVP here for what is sure to be a great
discussion!
