Best Answer

Louise Stokes was one of the first two African Americans women to qualify for an Olympic Games. In 1932, Louise Stokes and Tydie Pickett won positions on the U.S. Olympic relay team for competition at the Los Angeles Games, but they were replaced by two white runners they had previously beaten. Again in Stokes and Pickett qualified for competition at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, but were replaced by two white runners they had previously beaten.
