Today we celebrate #EqualPayDay and the US Open’s groundbreaking legacy as the first major to offer equal prize money back in 1973. None of it would have been possible without the courage of the Original 9 and Long Beach’s own Billie Jean King, who fought fearlessly for equality in tennis. Their impact reaches far beyond the court, paving the way for future generations to compete on equal terms. Here’s to fairness, respect, and those who lead the way. ✊ #EqualPayDay #USTASoCal #SoCalTennis #WomensHistoryMonth #TeamSoCal #WomenInSports
