(Black History Guardians) Remembering Black Olympian Fencer and Educator, Peter Westbrook (1952 - 2024)

In 1984, Peter Westbrook (1952 – 2024) became the first  Black person to win an Olympic medal in fencing for the United States. It was the first time an American had earned a U.S. fencing medal since 1960, and it wasn’t until 2004 that the US would win another one in fencing. #PeterWestbrook #fencing #fencinglegend #PeterWestbrookfencinglegend #blackhistoryguardians 🤺 Learn more: Peter Westbrook, Olympic fencing medalist whose foundation changed lives, dies at 72
