#OlympicPride, American Prejudice: The Untold Story of 18 African Americans Who Defied Jim Crow and Adolf Hitler to Compete in the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Most people, if they know anything about the 1936 Berlin Olympics, it's because it was in Hitler's Germany, or the unbelievable performance of Jesse Owens, who won four gold medals. But there were 17 other African Americans on Team USA. This is their story. #JimCrow #1936Olympics #BerlinOlympics #Olympics1936 #JesseOwens #RalphMetcalfe #TeamUSA #audiobook #Jimmyluvalle #bookreview #bookstagram #Olympics
I'm not kidding you, I planned this post a month ago. What a coincidence that today's book is about the #Goat of gymnastics, Simone Biles, the night before she finally competes at the Tokyo Olympics. Courage to Soar: A Body in Motion, A Life in Balance by #SimoneBiles was written shortly after her astounding feats at the Rio Olympics in 2016. #Olympics #TokyoOlympics #Tokyo2020 #OlympicGames #Rio2016 #Gymnastics #2016Olympics #bookreview #bookstagram #goldmedalwinner🏅
The Olympics are in their second week, and so is my look at some Olympic-themed books. I'll be back at it again starting tomorrow. Join me all week long for a closer look at some past Olympians, and click the link in my bio to see the books I've reviewed so far. #Olympics #TokyoOlympics #RioOlympics #BarcelonaOlympics #AtlantaOlympics #BerlinOlympics #Tokyo2020 #1992Olympics #1936Olympics #1996Olympics #2016Olympics #bookreviews #bookstagram #SimoneBiles #JesseOWens #RalphMetcalfe #FredPollardJr #JimmyLuValle #LouiseStokes #CouragetoSoar #ItsNotAboutPerfect #OlympicPrideAmericanPrejudice #JimCrow #HitlersOlympics #BoysintheBoat #rowing #Trackandfield #gymnastics #USGymnastics

It's Olympics week here on Bargain Sleuth Book Reviews, so what's a story of World War II soldier who was lost at sea for 47 days have to do with the Olympics? Because Louis Zamperini, the focus of the book Unbtroken, was an Olympian at the 1936 games, a sure bet for Olympic medals in the 1940 games that were cancelled because of the war. Click the link in my bio for my review.
You all know what a big fan of the Kennedys I am. #ARCReview Today marks the release of the first of a new series of books about one of the most famous women of the world. #JackiesParis by #MercedesKing takes us to #Paris after #WorldWarII when Jacqueline Bouvier studied in France. Click the link in my bio for my full review. #JacquelineKennedy #newbooks2021 #newreleases
