I recieved this Email back concerning a the Life of Althea Gibson the First Black woman to win at Wimbledon and she did it twice. The North Carolina Museum return this reply. Please check and verify if this information matches yours. Thank You very much. In the Great State of South Carolina...
(see email below)

Dear Mr. Kenan-Bruce

Thank you so much for your comment when you last visited the North Carolina Museum of History.  We've actually received several inquiries why Althea Gibson is not present in the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame.  To be eligible, nominees must be a North Carolina native or a non-native who has maintained official residence for ten consecutive years.  Ms. Gibson was actually born in South Carolina and only lived in North Carolina for approximately 4 years during her high school years.  That is why she is not featured in the Sports Hall of Fame. 

 

Thanks so much for your inquiry. 

 

-Katie
