T is for Tigerbelles: A Celebration of HBCU Athletes

By Leslie D W Jones

26 letters. Countless legacies. One powerful story. From the track to the mat, the court to the slopes - HBCU athletes have done it all.

T is for Tigerbelles is more than an alphabet book - it is a testament to what HBCU students, athletes, and coaches have contributed to sports at every level, in every arena, across generations. From Olympic tracks to NASCAR speedways, from the boxing ring to the basketball court, these are the stories that deserve to be told. Their journeys will inspire you to dream bigger, work harder, and never underestimate what is possible when you find a place that sees your greatness.

With every turn of the page, discover the coaches who poured wisdom into champions, the programs that turned underdogs into legends, and the athletes who proved that greatness has always had a home at Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

T is for Tigerbelles is perfect for readers ages 8-12 who love sports, history, and stories about people who refused to be told what they couldn't do.
