When Wilma Rudolph Played Basketball by Mark Weakland

A young black woman succeeds despite racial discrimination in America in the mid-twentieth century

This book contains references to racial discrimination.

Wilma Glodean Rudolph was an American sprinter who overcame childhood polio and went on to become a world-record-holding Olympic champion and international sports icon in track and field following her successes in the 1956 and 1960 Olympic Games

This is a great historic book about a young lady that pursued her dreams despite her disablity and discrimination because of her skin color.
