When
Peter Westbrook became the first black man to win an Olympic medal in
fencing in the 80s, he vowed to put his win and stature to good use.
After later establishing the Peter Westbrook Foundation, he's done just
that. Through his initiative he trains black inner city youth to honor
the sport and use it as a means of expression beyond its physical
requirements. His trainees include accomplished black fencers such as
Nzingha Prescod, Keeth and Erin Smart, and Ibtihaj Muhammad who recently
won bronze at the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
