Arthur Ashe Legacy Project

Faculty Director: Dr. Robert Cooper, Department of Education

In January 2025, the Arthur Ashe Legacy Project joined the Bunche Center. Founded by Professor Emeritus Patricia Turner in 2007, the AALP has offered funding and academic development opportunities for students and conducted an international oral history project that highlights the enormous impact of Arthur Ashe (UCLA Bruin ‘66) and showcases lessons for today. The new Faculty Director, Dr. Cooper will expand the scope of the Arthur Ashe Legacy Project and its mission to honor the tennis and humanitarian great’s legacy with substantive actions for today’s students and scholars.
