NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nashville-based craft brewery Tennessee Brew Works and Chicago-based Turner Häus Brewery are partnering to celebrate Black History Month by honoring Olympic legend and Tennessee native, Wilma “The Black Gazelle” Rudolph.
Wilma Rudolph, born in Saint Bethlehem, Tennessee, overcame polio to ultimately become the fastest woman in the world. An international sports icon in track and field, she was a world-record-holding Olympic champion in the 1956 and 1960 Olympic games. She became one of the most recognizable black women athletes in the world, earning several prestigious nicknames including, “The Black Gazelle,” coined by the Italians following the 1960 Olympics. She earned a degree from Tennessee State University and profoundly gave back to her community through positive activism, founding the Wilma Rudolph Foundation to train youth athletes, and working in minority affairs at Depauw University.
