120th Anniversary of the Birth of E. Lilyan Spencer

It recognizes her historic 10-year reign as Florida Tennis Association Women's Singles Champion (1931-1941), her 1937 national tennis title as the first African American woman from Tallahassee to win a national sports title, and her later roles as a math teacher, principal, and organizer of community initiatives like the Bond Community Credit Union.
