When doctors told her parents that she may never walk again, no one could have imagined that Wilma Rudolph would grow up to become the world's fastest woman. This awe-inspiring book shows how, with grace, perseverance, and dedication, young Wilma used her inner strength to overcome physical disabilities caused by polio to win three gold medals for the USA in track and field at the 1960 Olympics. A sports superstar and an icon worldwide, her legacy continues to inspire youth and African-American communities today. Teacher's guide available.
