1958 Saturday Evening Post Magazine...Althea Gibson Negro Tennis Player

Description

Vintage 1958 Saturday Evening Post Magazine features an excerpt from one of America's most popular African American tennis star,
Althea Gibson
.  Gibson had a jam-packed eight-year career, with all of her major championships coming from 1956-1958, when she appeared in a stunning 19 major finals and won 11titles.
Five were in singles: the French in 1956, Wimbledon in 1957 and 1958 and the U.S. Nationals in 1957 and 1958; five in women's doubles: the French in 1956, the Australian in 1957, Wimbledon in 1956, 1957, 1958 and one in mixed doubles, at the U.S. in 1957.
After that remarkable run of accomplishments, Gibson became the first African-American to compete on the women's professional golf tour in 1960.
