Named after the day of the year the event occurs; several categories of players compete for championships at Harvard Park. On this day, we met and interviewed Black tennis legend Maurice "Mo" Hunter and were enlightened by his tournament and tour experience. Unfortunately, later that year on October 17th, Maurice passed. Fast forward a couple of years and his sister Cherisse Wilson Goedhart is moving full steam ahead with a biopic on Maurice's life called "Paving the Road to Gold." The biopic will chronical Maurice's journey from poverty to prominence on the court. The film is set to begin production in 2025 and will highlight Maurice's determination, perseverance and talent on the tennis court. In this episode we get to chat with Cherisse and another producer on the film Janie Bradford (famed Motown songwriter). They share details on the motivation for and progress on this anticipated film. Listen in as we plan to follow this production closely and help share Maurice's impact and his message.
