"Bare feet shouldn't fly. Long legs shouldn't spin. Braids
shouldn't flap in the wind. 'Sit on the porch and be a lady, ' Papa
scolded Alice." In Alice's Georgia hometown, there was no track
where an African-American girl could practice, so she made her own
crossbar with sticks and rags. With the support of her coach,
friends, and community, Alice started to win medals. Her dream to
compete at the Olympics came true in 1948. This is an inspiring
free-verse story of the first African-American woman to win an
Olympic gold medal. Photos of Alice Coachman are also included
