Manage episode 432949543 series 3588298
Lauren Scuggs remembers being the only fencer in her Queens neighborhood: “It was a very weird thing for me to do.” In a sport that has been historically dominated in the United States by White people, Scruggs became the first Black American woman to win an individual fencing medal at the Olympics.
The Washington Post’s Ava Wallace sat down with Scruggs to talk about her journey to the Olympics and what it took to make Olympics history.
