Althea Gibson (1927–2003) was an American tennis player and professional golfer, and one of the first Black athletes to cross the color line of international tennis. On May 27, 1956, she became the first African American to win a Grand Slam title (the women's singles at the 1956 French Championships). The following year, she won both Wimbledon and the US Nationals, then won both championships again in 1958. She was voted Female Athlete of the Year by the Associated Press in both years. Gibson won a total of eleven Grand Slam tournaments: five singles titles, five doubles titles, and one mixed doubles title. In the early 1960s, she also became the first Black player to compete on the Women's Professional Golf Tour. This photograph of Gibson holding a tennis racket was taken in 1956 by Fred Palumbo for the New York World-Telegram and The Sun.Photograph credit: Fred Palumbo; restored by Adam Cuerden
