Black History Month: Part One

During Black History Month, we honour the greats of previous generations that paved the way for so many of us to be where we are today. In sports, it is no different. There are so many men and women who sacrificed a lot and made history in the process.

By doing this, they opened the door for an entire generation of great athletes. So, for the next two weeks, we will be looking at some of those athletes, starting off by looking at some of the great black women that paved the way.
