Today, I wish to share how my dreams, which once seemed out of reach, became a reality because of your unwavering support. Without your belief in me, my ambition might have remained only a dream.

Let's find and discuss

In November 1923, I was born in Albany, Georgia, at a time when girls were discouraged from competing in sport. Despite these expectations, I was a determined young athlete with a passion for running and jumping that could not be ignored. Why should I sit aside and watch? Fortunately, my aunt, who recognised my potential, encouraged me to continue training when others misunderstood my ambition. By the age of 12, I was the unrivalled athlete in Albany, regularly winning high school competitions. My dream, when it had once seemed impossible, was born.

Let's find and discuss

As time pressed on, segregation arrived, creating barriers that disallowed me from using training facilities or even competing alongside white athletes. How was I supposed to achieve like them? I trained barefoot on dusty roads, carrying the hopes of a young girl with determination in her heart. It was then that you, the Tuskegee Institute, became part of my story. You invited me to study and train, providing an opportunity that realigned my future. With your guidance, my confidence strengthened. My dream, in spite of the adversity I faced, grew.

Let's find and discuss

At the 1948 London Olympics, I stood, ready at the long jump start line, filled with nervous excitement, thinking only of the support I had received from the Tuskegee Institute. I ran, I jumped, I landed… and I won! I had earned an Olympic gold medal, becoming the first black woman to achieve this honour. This victory, which changed my life forever, belonged not only to me, but to everyone who believed in my potential. For all who are in pursuit of their dreams – I sincerely believe that determination, along with the help of others, will pull you through. My dream, after everything I went through, had finally come true.

Today, I wish to share how my dreams, which once seemed out of reach, became a reality because of your unwavering support. Without your belief in me, my ambition might have remained only a dream.

In the years that followed, I won national titles for running and the high jump, and the Olympic Games no longer felt unreachable, yet doubt still remained. Could I, a girl who had trained on rough, dusty streets, truly compete on the world stage? Unfortunately, the games were cancelled due to the Second World War and I began to reconsider my chance of ever achieving my dreams. Then, in 1948, I eventually qualified to represent America in the Olympics! I thought, could I do it? Would I be able to overlook the doubts I once had? Yet my dream, undeterred by my fear, was what carried me through.

At the 1948 London Olympics, I stood, ready at the long jump start line, filled with nervous excitement, thinking only of the support I had received from the Tuskegee Institute.
