Alice Coachman (November 9, 1923 – July 14, 2014), a track and field star, made history at the 1948 Olympic Games in London becoming the first black woman to win an Olympic medal.

Coachman was born and raised in the heart of the segregated south in Albany, Georgia where she was often denied the opportunity to train and compete in organized sports. Instead, she trained on her own, running barefoot in the fields and on dirt roads using old equipment to create hurdles to improve her high jump. After demonstrating her skills on the track at Madison High School, Tuskegee Institute offered 16-year-old Coachman a scholarship to attend its high school in 1939. She competed on and against all-black teams throughout the segregated south.

Over the next several years, Coachman dominated Amateur Athlete Union (AAU) competitions. By 1946, the same year she enrolled at Albany State College, she amassed ten consecutive national titles in the high jump. Coachman also won the 50-meter outdoor title every year from 1943 to 1947 and held a total of 25 national titles.

While at peak athletic form, World War II forced the cancellation of the Olympic Games in both 1940 and 1944.

In 1948, Coachman was finally able to show the world her talent in London as a member of the Olympic team. She leapt to a record-breaking height of 5 feet, 6 1/8 inches in the high jump to become the first black woman to win an Olympic gold medal.

Following the Olympic Games, Coachman returned to a segregated south. At an event in her honor, blacks and whites were seated separately. The mayor sat on the stage with her, but would not shake her hand.

Coachman was a pioneer and paved the way for female African-American Olympic track stars like Wilma Rudolph, Florence Griffith Joyner and Jackie Joyner-Kersee. “If I had gone to the Games and failed, there wouldn’t be anyone to follow in my footsteps,” she said. “It encouraged the rest of the women to work harder and fight harder.”

Alice Coachman died at the age of 90.

This super soft t-shirt is made from 100% combed and ring-spun cotton.

Very Helpful!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I purchased a new copy of this book. The new book comes with a code that provides online access to a some lab resources and also an E-book version that is searchable and has excellent content. I attached a screenshot of a section of the e-book. Definitely worth it! Provides values and guide to interpreting tests and implications as well as associated nursing diagnoses. This book was recommended for a clinical nursing class but not required. I think it is helpful for my other classes as well (pharmacology, pathophysiology). I think if you get it you will see how useful it is. I purchased the 10th edition, which was published 2023.

Small and compact
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I didn’t expect it to be small - which is better, I think. Should have read the info. Photo in comparison with the 2024 Nursing Drug Handbook I recently purchased.
