In 2005, Venus Williams joined Billie Jean King, Maria Sharapova, Chris Evert and others in the crusade to convince Wimbledon and the French Open to offer equal prizes to men and women. Tony Blair supported Venus after she wrote a poignant letter to the London Times in which she declared Wimbledon to be on the wrong side of history. Venus led the campaign for gender equality and in February 2007, both Wimbledon and the French Open changed their policies. That same year, Venus won Wimbledon, earning the same prize as Roger Federer. Directed by Ava DuVernay. CAAM is located at 600 State Drive, Exposition Park, Los Angeles, CA 90037.
