1610 W. Howard St., Chicago, IL 60626

We celebrate Ms. Willye B. White. As the first
five-time American track and field Olympian. Her life
was an inspiring model for all our youth. She once said, “Athletics was
my flight to freedom, freedom
from prejudice, freedom from illiteracy, freedom from bias. It was my
acceptance in the world.”
