Music from Ashe’s era will play a key component in the drama, which has the backing of Ashe’s estate. Works from iconic Black artists such as Aretha Franklin, Prince, Curtis Mayfield will be highlighted, with Warner Music Group to play a role in helping to secure the music and providing creative guidance.
Ashe's U.S. Open win in 1968 occurred against a tumultuous backdrop that included the assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., anti-Vietnam protests, and the civil rights movement. On top of his groundbreaking sporting achievements and civil rights work in America, Ashe fought against South Africa’s apartheid system in the 1970s and 1980s, even getting arrested a protest in Washington D.C.
