Celebrating 10 Years of Black Gymnasts in History with the Wendy Hilliard Gymnastics Foundation

In February 2016, Wendy Hilliard launched Black Gymnasts in History to bring visibility and pay tribute to the many athletes who have paved the way in gymnastics’ various disciplines and continue to inspire today’s generation. Every year during Black History Month in February, Black Gymnasts in History highlights the accomplishments of tumblers, trampolinists, artistic gymnasts, rhythmic gymnasts, and coaches. We're celebrating these stories all month long with the Wendy Hilliard Gymnastics Foundation and Black Gymnasts in History.

Every year they continue to share new inspiring stories to this amazing group of athletes. If you've like to nominate someone, please contact them! They rely on the community to make sure this project is comprehensive of all Black gymnasts’ contributions and impact on the sport so reach out if you would like to share your story, or a story of someone that inspires you. Learn more about all these wonderful athletes here.
