Show Notes

Margaret and Matilda Roumania Peters were sisters and tennis champions in the 1930s, long before Serena and Venus Williams. While still in high school, they were recruited by Tuskegee University's tennis coach, Cleve Abbott.

The Peters sisters were accepted into the Tuskegee Hall of fame in 1977.
