African-American women in sport are largely underrepresented. Even when they are showcased they are confined to personality that many times does not reflect who they truly are. The oppression of their rights continues to be evident through sport. Women are often undermined in society especially in sport. African-American women are not granted the same opportunities in Tennis as men or white women because they are often not treated with the same level of respect.

Hello, my name is Leslie Holguin. Welcome back to “Discriminations of Immigrants in History”. This week we will be focusing on Latinos and the racism they have faced throughout history. We will discuss immigrants, the Mexican-American history of laborers, and a closer view of a novel that deals with these issues first hand. Taking a closer look at the beautifully written novel by Maria Helena Viramountes, Under the Feet of Jesus, the listeners will hear the heroic story about a young girl's struggle as a farmworker here in the United States. I am excited to dive deep into the background of those people who have helped build America.
