File- Skier Seba Johnson from the Virgin Islands looks back to see her racing time at the Olympic ladies Super-6 event at Mt. Allan in Nakiska, Alberta on Monday, Feb. 22, 1988. Johnson first saw skiing on a tiny black and white TV in the housing project where she lived in Fredericksted, on the island of St Croix. Nine years later, Johnson broke barriers during the 1988 Calgary Games, becoming the first Black woman to ski in a Winter Games, and at 14, the youngest. She relied on support from ski equipment companies, celebrities and other donors, and even then was able to spend far less time training than her competitors, due to socioeconomic barriers.
