Before Serena Williams and Venus Williams there was Ora Washington. Washington was a talented athlete who flourished in her chosen sports of tennis and basketball.
She dominated black women’s tennis, which was segregated in the 1920s and 1930s. She won seven titles in a row, from 1929 to 1935. She was the star player for the Philadelphia Tribunes and Germantown Hornets women's basketball teams. By the time she retired, she had played 12 years of undefeated tennis and earned 201 trophies for both tennis and basketball. Her accomplishments have placed her among the top female athletes of the 20th century, and yet few know her story.
Untold Legends: Ora is hosted by former US basketball player Renee Montgomery, who is now the co-owner of the Atlanta Dream basketball team and a self-described “sports history geek”.
Untold Legends: Ora is a Stance Studios production, with story editing from Deadset Studios. Published by BBC Sounds, BBC World Service and BBC Radio 5 Live.
