Althea Gibson is one of the most underrated athletes in history, period! She essentially did what Jackie Robinson did for baseball, but also had the added pressures of gender stereotypes to break down as well, and she did it with style, grace, and dominance! The offered action photo is from early in her career, c. 1955 and is one of her best we have ever seen.
