"The true story of how Olympic athlete Wilma Rudolph became a change-making civil rights activist"--

Wilma Rudolph was a champion on the track and for civil rights. Go, Wilma, go!

At the 1960 Summer Olympics, Wilma Rudolph became a gold-medal-winning track star. Discover the powerful story of what happened after she soared across the finish line . . .

Leaders in Wilma's hometown of Clarksville, Tennessee, plan a "Wilma Rudolph Day" to honor their champion. But when Wilma hears about their plans, she stops.

A segregated celebration? She won't go! She won't go unless they welcome Black people to participate. Thanks to Wilma, Clarksville hosts its first fully integrated event.

And Wilma doesn't stop there! The race to freedom is not a sprint, but a marathon. She spends the rest of her life protesting inequality and advocating for Black girls and women to have opportunities in sports and beyond. Go, Wilma, go!

With a powerful text from Amira Rose Davis and Michael G. Long, and art full of movement from Charnelle Pinkney Barlow, this powerful picture book is sure to inspire the next generation of athletes and changemakers.
