註釋Growing up in Harlem in the 1930s, Althea Gibson became tough and rebellious. Some would say she was wild. It wasn¿t until she was a teenager that she learned she had a talent: Althea was a natural at tennis. The problem was that tennis was a game played mostly by wealthy white people in country clubs that excluded African Americans. Never one to shy away from a challenge, Althea was not deterred. She set about becoming a barrier-breaking, record-setting, and world-famous sportswoman and personality. Full-color illustrations. Reinforced binding.
