About this product
Product Information
A 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.

Reviews
" Deans skillfully shows the depth of Gibson's journey by including moments of discouragement and loss, and by emphasizing the importance of the support and encouragement from friends. The historical context of racism is handled well, and the clear text is concise. Brown's illustrations sing with dynamic colors. . . . A beautiful and thorough addition to every biography section." -- School Library Journal, Starred Review

I have bought from this seller many thimes and have been well served and very satisfied.
This item arrived in good time today and is exactly as advertised.
This time, however, two days after I paid $94 (with 10 more still available), the seller changed the price to $61 (still with 10 more available).
I raised this with the seller and got a facile brush off: that their prices reflect their costs for an item. The fact that the $94 (+10) listing has been removed, belies that. Not credible.
