"Wilma Rudolph: Running for Gold" by Percy Leed tells the inspiring story of Wilma Rudolph, an American athlete who overcame tremendous odds to become a champion sprinter. Born prematurely and diagnosed with polio as a child, Wilma faced numerous challenges, including a leg brace that made walking difficult. However, her determination and talent shone through, leading her to the 1960 Rome Olympics, where she made history by winning three gold medals. This biography highlights her resilience, the struggles she faced as a Black woman in sports, and her legacy as a trailblazer for future generations of athletes.
