Bertrand Milbourne Clark: The Jamaican Who Broke Wimbledon’s Colour Barrier

Long before global audiences associated Black excellence at Wimbledon with Arthur Ashe or Althea Gibson, a Jamaican quietly rewrote sporting history. His name was Bertrand Milbourne Clark—a civil servant by profession, a sporting polymath by passion, and the first Black person ever to compete at the Wimbledon Championships.

Born on 29 April 1894 in Kingston, Jamaica, Clark emerged from a family rooted in education and professional life. His father, Enos Edgar Clark, was a dentist, and the family belonged to a small but influential Black middle class navigating opportunity and restriction within colonial Jamaica. Educated at Kingston High School and later Jamaica College, Clark’s athletic talent surfaced early. In 1910, while still a student, he won the high jump at the very first Inter-Secondary Schools Championship Sports at Sabina Park, signaling the breadth of ability that would define his life.
