In honor of black history month and my profound love for figure skating today I wanna tell you about Maple Fairbanks a tree pioneer for black people and figure skating this is a person who taught herself how to skate and was later recognized and coached by a world renowned coach despite her true talent she was unable to join any figures getting clubs due to the color of her skin and that is a prerequisite for competing at nationals and ultimately the Olympics despite that she was able to headline shows and was later as of a coach where she went on to coach Olympic and world champions She is the first black person inducted in the US figure skating Hall of Fame

Wow, Lily, this was a great freaking Black History Month. I've never even heard of her. So I definitely will take a look and check out who Mabel actually was because this was a good one. Thanks, Lily.
