By: Karen Deans | Illustrator: Elbrite BrownA new and updated edition of the picture book about the woman called "The Jackie Robinson of tennis."
Although stars like Serena Williams cite Althea Gibson as an inspiration, Gibson's story is not well-known to many young people today. Growing up tough and rebellious in Harlem, Althea took that fighting attitude and used it to go after her goals of being a tennis champion, and a time when tennis was a game played mostly by wealthy white people in country clubs that excluded African Americans.
In 1956, she became the first Black American to win a major championship when she won at The French Open. When she won the celebrated Wimbledon tournament the following year, Gibson shook hands with the Queen of England. Not bad for a kid from the streets of Harlem.
With determination and undeniable skill, Althea Gibson become a barrier-breaking, record-setting, and world-famous sportswoman. This new and updated edition of this inspirational biography contains recent information on the impact of Gibson's legacy.

You're Gonna Love This Purse!!
Size: One Size, Color: Black
A beautifully made purse that is a perfect size for night or day. Metal features are lovely and I really like the option of a hand held bag or a shoulder bag. It is not what I would call a LARGE bag despite the product description.
