Sporting Witness - Wimbledon Pioneers
In the 1950s, Angela Buxton and Althea Gibson formed a unique partnership in women's doubles. As a British Jew and an African-American respectively, both women had faced prejudice in their home countries, but in 1956 they pulled off a stunning win at Wimbledon. Angela Buxton talks to David Whitty.
