Today, we're used to seeing Venus and Serena Williams winning Grand Slam tennis tournaments. But when Althea Gibson began playing tennis in the 1940s, African Americans were effectively barred from the major events. Gibson had to fight through years of discrimination and self-doubt before she could even step onto the court at places like Wimbledon. Once she had her chance, though, Gibson made the most of it-this pioneer went on to become the number one player in the world! Full-color, mixed media illustrations.
