Sports have long been a battleground for racial equality, and Black athletes have continuously shattered barriers, redefined excellence, and paved the way for future generations.
- Jackie Robinson (Baseball): In 1947, he broke Major League Baseball's color barrier, facing immense racism while proving Black players belonged on the biggest stage.
- Wilma Rudolph (Track & Field):
- Overcoming polio as a child, she became the first American woman to win three gold medals in a single Olympic Games.
- Serena Williams (Tennis): One of the greatest athletes of all time, she redefined power, grace, and resilience in a predominantly white sport.
- Colin Kaepernick (Football): His protest against police brutality ignited a global conversation about activism in sports.
These athletes did more than win championships-they changed the game, opened doors, and inspired movements that continue today.
