Considered "nothing but trouble", Harlem's Althea Gibson's love of sports distracted her from everything else. Buddy Walker, a neighborhood play leader, recognized her ability at street tennis, played with a wooden paddle, and handed Althea her first stringed racket. After considerable practice and hardship, Althea became the first African American to win Wimbledon. Adapted for Brooklyn Blowback by David Kay, MLS
