| Description: |
In 1932 the first African-American women participated in the Olympics in Los Angeles, California. Since then, more and more black women have competed. This book highlights some of the accomplishments of these Olympic medalists and attests to their magnificent representation of our country abroad. |
| Synopsis: |
From its beginnings in ancient Greece as a celebration of the gods to its rebirth in 1896 as a tool for peace through universal understanding, the Olympics have awed and inspired the world with man's athletic prowess. Held continually since 1896 with the exception of 1916 and 1940-44 during the two world wars, the Olympics continue to be the highest measure of human physical ability. In this book the author focuses on an area not often covered in Olympic History -- the African-American women who have competed through the years. |
