520 "In 1968, Wyomia Tyus became the first person ever to win
gold medals in the 100-meter sprint in two consecutive
Olympic Games, a feat that would not be repeated for
twenty years or exceeded for almost fifty. Tigerbelle
chronicles Tyus's journey from her childhood as the
daughter of a tenant dairy farmer through her Olympic
triumphs to her post-competition struggles to make a way
for herself and other female athletes. The Hidden Figures
of sport, Tigerbelle helps to fill the gap currently
occupying Black women's place in American history,
providing insight not only on what it takes to be a
champion but also on what it means to stake out an
identity in an hostile world. Tyus's exciting and
uplifting story offers inspiration to readers from all
walks of life"--Back cover
