Interesting biography. I found a video that would likely be great to go with it in class https://youtu.be/k-kW4bSdx2o

Mabel Fairbanks was drawn to the ice at a young age, but African Americans weren't allowed to skate in competition. She skated in different entertainment venues and then took up coaching, urging the Los Angeles Figure Skating Club to admit African American members. This is a winning biography about a woman athlete breaking barriers.

A really great introduction to the story of Mabel Fairbanks and general civil rights advocacy. (Also great for kids interested in ice skating!)
