Proud--#85 finished

 The rest of the title is: My Fight for an Unlikely American Dream.  This is a book by the US fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad who competed for the US team and was part of the team that won the bronze medal in Rio.  As a black muslim woman wearing a hijab she stood out in this sport but she had already been standing out in school and life before this as well.  Book goes through her journey and the struggles she had on the way.  A good and interesting read.  I knew nothing about fencing and now know a little but more about the person she is, glad I read this book.

There are 3 WL for this book on PBS so I will post & mail off at some point.
