She couldn't sit still! When she put her mind to it, the fleet-of-foot girl reigned supreme at every sport--stickball with the boys, basketball with the girls, paddle tennis with anyone who would hit with her. But being the quickest, tallest, most fearless player in Harlem wasn't enough for Althea. She knew she could be a tennis champion. Because of segregation, black people weren't allowed to compete against white people in sports. Althea didn't care. She just wanted to play tennis against the best athletes in the world. And with skill and determination, she did just that, eventually becoming the first black person--man or woman--to win a trophy at Wimbledon. 600 10 $a Gibson, Althea, $d 1927-2003 $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a African American women tennis players $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Women tennis players $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Tennis players $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a African American women $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Women $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Picture books. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Freeman, Laura $c (Illustrator), $e illustrator. 941 $a 7 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314021850.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20220806013636.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518023941.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722062745.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20201007082444.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20200724010542.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200201010140.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=83FCF2C844C011EAB8BD492997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
