To me, the definition of a hero is any person who risks his life and/or well-being to save or improve the life and/or well-being of another. This definition encompasses: Jesus Christ, our founding fathers, veterans, '60s civil-rights leaders and some athletes. Arthur Ashe fits into the last two categories.
