Billie Jean hosted children from Philadelphia's Wakesha Charter School:
"It was an honor for me to go out there and talk with the children and see them try to play tennis for the first or second time in their whole lives so it was great. I just talked a little bit to them. The only thing I said to them is the more you know about history, the more you know about yourself. And that you're going to be not only be shaping your own life, but shaping the future of this country and this world."
