Therapeutic Recreation
In honor of Black History Month and the start of the Winter Paralympics, we’re shining a spotlight on remarkable Black Paralympians who have made history on the snow and ice.
From Malik Jones, a gold-medal–winning sled hockey athlete and rising leader in para ice hockey, to Bonnie St. John, the first African American to medal at a Winter Paralympics, and Ralph Green, a trailblazer in U.S. para-alpine skiing, these athletes embody perseverance, excellence, and impact. Their stories remind us that representation matters and that barriers can and should be broken.
