Seeking appropriate categories for apartheid protester and activist Arthur Ashe

Question

[[Ashe-556|Arthur Ashe]], tennis champion, belongs in many categories. But he was also an activist prominently involved in protesting South Africa's apartheid regime, and I thought there must be a category about that to which he should be added. I think he and others helped make a difference. But apparently there isn't one (unless I'm just not finding it). Should there be?

Answer 1

There is https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Apartheid, which currently only has Nelson Mandela's profile in it. The description on the category of "This category contains profiles of persons associated with apartheid" doesn't sound quite right for the opponents of apartheid, but if it's the correct category for Nelson Mandela then presumably it's the correct one for Arthur Ashe too.

Comments

I saw that one too, and also wondered about the broadness of it. Well, I read that when Mandela was released from prison he said he'd like to meet Arthur Ashe. So maybe they can be in the same category. Thanks!

Should we add https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:NZRU_All_Blacks as a subcategory of Apartheid...

A New Zealand sports team? "Apartheid" refers to a racist regime in South Africa, so I don't think so.
