@Xfinity We pay for extremely fast internet (1200 mbps). We are trying to watch something and the picture is crap, we are getting bandwidth errors, and our Speedtest is barely 300 mbps. What is going on? Why aren’t we getting what we pay for?

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

—Margaret and Matilda Roumania Peters were African American tennis stars from the late 1930s through the early 1950s. As young girls, they could often be seen playing at a park across from their home in Georgetown. They were nicknamed “Pete” and “Repeat” for their doubles playing skills and last name.

—While still in high school, the Peters sisters attracted the attention of a tennis coach from Tuskegee Institute, Cleve Abbott, who offered each of them a four-year scholarship. Margaret, feeling uneasy about travelling so far away from home, deferred for a year until Matilda graduated from high school. The Peters sisters arrived at Tuskegee in 1937.
—In college, both sisters played basketball and tennis but they were best known for their doubles play in tennis and were exceptionally good at moves such as “slice serve” and “chop shots,” and had incredibly strong backhands. While in college they played in the American Tennis Association, ATA, tournaments. The ATA is the African American tennis league that still exists today. They both graduated from Tuskegee in 1941 with degrees in physical education.

—After college, they both continued to play amateur tennis in the ATA. Since they were amateurs, they had to pay for their own equipment, entry fees, and travel expenses. They won 14 doubles tennis titles between 1938 and 1941 and between 1944 and 1953. They gained some fame and played for celebrities, British royalty, and practiced with actors such as Gene Kelly. The Peters sisters were inducted into the Tuskegee Hall of Fame in 1977.

—Despite their skill, they were never permitted to test themselves against the great white doubles players of the time. By the time the walls of segregation in tennis started falling, the Peters sisters were past their prime and were never able to compete in racially integrated matches.

Margaret moved to New York City, New York for a short time after graduating from Tuskegee and received a master’s degree in physical education from New York University. She returned to Washington D.C. and worked as a special education teacher. She earned a second master’s degree in special education from Coppin State College in Baltimore, Maryland. Margaret never married or had children. She died in Washington on November 3, 2004.

Matilda played singles as well as doubles with her sister. She won national singles titles from the ATA in 1944 and 1946. Like her sister, Matilda went on to receive her master’s degree in physical education from NYU after graduating from Tuskegee. She married James Walker in 1957. Together, they had two children: a daughter named Frances Della and a son named James George. Matilda taught at Howard University in the 1950’s and then the Washington Public School System from 1964 to 1981. She also taught tennis to underprivileged children through the District of Columbia Department of Recreation. On May 16, 2003, Matilda died from pneumonia.

Self-taught, child prodigy piano player, Sugar Chile Robinson.

—Born on December 28, 1938, Sugar Chile Robinson as he was widely known proved to be a child prodigy emerging as a self-taught piano player at a year and half old.

The jazz pianist and singer played for President Truman in 1946 at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, becoming the first African-American to be invited to the presidential home at a mere age of seven.

He was one of the first African-American child stars to be a household name. While still a kid, he had a record, billboard chart, sports and a gig with the Count Basie Orchestra as well as movie appearances even when African-Americans were few on the big screen.

He began touring major theaters, setting box office records in Detroit and California. In 1949 he was given special permission to join the American Federation of Musicians and record his first releases on Capitol Records, “Numbers Boogie” and “Caldonia”, both reaching the Billboard R&B chart.

In 1950, he toured and appeared on television with Count Basie and in a short film ‘Sugar Chile’ Robinson, Billie Holiday, Count Basie and His Sextet. The following year, he toured the UK, appearing at the London Palladium.

However, by the 1950s, Robinson returned to school and his fame faded. He stopped recording in 1952.

Later he said: “I wanted to go to school… I wanted some school background in me and I asked my Dad if I could stop, and I went to school because I honestly wanted my college diploma.”

Having given up his musical career entirely, he focused on his academic studies earning a degree in history from Olivet College and one in psychology from the Detroit Institute of Technology. In the 1960s, he worked for WGPR-TV, and also helped set up small record labels in Detroit and opened a recording studio.

The Detroit, Michigan native’s legacy is enduring but his decision to drop music came at a great cost.

The blues singer in 2016 got invited to the White House by former president Barack Obama to be part of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner after 70 years.

On how tough life got, his small apartment shared with a niece had no beds and a piano. They had been sleeping on blow up beds for the past five years after a household fire destroyed his belongings.

In 2017, Music Maker Relief Foundation came to the star’s aid putting him on the monthly sustenance program, sending beds and a piano to his residence while resolving the eviction action he faced.

Questions abound bordering on royalties and if he made good money from his music or if he squandered the wealth he made? There’s also talk of how he failed to keep a balance rejecting music for so long yet the college degree he so craved for not securing him a better life. Whatever the outcome, Frank Isaac Robinson in 2016 was inducted into the Rhythm & Blues Music Hall of Fame.

Sugar Chile Robinson will be celebrating his 84th Birthday on December 28th 2022—
