Los Angeles: Serena Williams vowed she would not be "silent" on issues of social injustice Tuesday as she reflected on the recent deaths of African-American men at the hands of law enforcement.
In a heartfelt post on her Facebook page, the tennis superstar said she felt moved to speak out after being unnerved at the sight of a police officer while being driven by her 18-year-old nephew.
"Today I asked my 18 year old nephew (to be clear he's black) to drive me to my meetings so I can work on my phone," the former world number-one wrote.
