Inside the Ropes – July 2020

Inside the Ropes

At ISM we hope everyone is enjoying Summer and ready for a fantastic Independence Day weekend! In this edition of Inside the Ropes we showcase some of the most amazing competitors in the U.S. from the past who helped pave the way for the success of today’s Black athletes while setting amazing records along the way. We also check in on the Open Championship (even though it’s postponed until July 2021) and explore some fun sports moments that took place on July 4th over the years!

We hope you have a great time and safely enjoy this 4th of July with family and friends. See you soon!

Diversity Breaks Records


It’s a fact that without countless persevering Black athletes, many sports would not be what they are today.

Read about these and other athletes who changed the game (and the world) in the article below!
