It's National Black Women in Sports Day!

📄“'The Right Sort of Girl Is a Tomboy': Representations of Black Athletic Girlhood in the Early 20th-Century Black Press" by Samantha White in @journsporthist.bsky.social‬ 50.1 @nassh1972.bsky.social‬ on @projectmuse.bsky.social

Despite their presence in Black girls’ sporting cultures, histories of tomboys often primarily focus on white subjects. However, a theoretical approach to the intellectual history of Black tomboys illuminates how the figure informed constructions of racialized girlhoods, athletics, and embodiment. Articles authored by adults, children, and youth in the Black press examined the tomboy's potential to inform and shape mediated representations of Black girls’ athleticism during the early twentieth century.
