Black Athletes that made history! A THREAD:

Have to start with Usain Bolt and Florence Griffith Joyner who hold the record for men’s and women’s 100m & 200m

Serena Williams & Venus Williams - Venus Williams - A 7-time Grand Slam title winner (singles), and Serena Williams 23-time Grand Slam title winner (singles). They became the first two players, female or male, to play in four consecutive Grand Slam singles finals

Michael Jordan & Maya Moore, the best in NBA & WNBA

Muhammad Ali, the best boxer and one his famous moments was refusing to fight for the American Army because the USA done more damage to him and his family racially than any Vietnam soldier.

Jessie Owens and his big moment in beating Hitlers golden boys in a 100m race in front of hitlers eyes and also breaking 2 long jump world records

Lewis Hamilton - Most consecutive races that the driver entered and actually started and the second all time wins Arguably the best Formular 1 racer

Simone Biles is the most decorated American gymnast and third most decorated world gymnast with a total of 30 Olympic medals

There are so many black footballers that make the thread but this is my personal top 4 that made history: Drogba, Pelé, Ronaldinho & Thierry Henry

Mo Farah, and Derartu Tutu: both record holders in Long Distance running

Arthur Ashe - First (and remains the only) African-American male tennis player to win the U.S. Open and Wimbledon singles titles.

Tiger Woods - With 82 all-time PGA TOUR victories, Tiger Woods is tied for the most wins in PGA TOUR history Golf
