In 1948 Alice Coachman became the first black woman to win an Olympic gold medal when she took the high jump at the London Olympics. 🥇 Paris 2024 is a landmark moment for women in sports thanks to generations of trailblazers. #OlympicLegends #GenderParity “If I had gone to the games and failed, there wouldn’t be anyone to follow in my footsteps. It encouraged the rest of the women to work harder and fight harder.” 💙 #AliceCoachman #HerStory
