In 1932, Tydie Pickett and Louise Stokes boarded a train to Los Angeles, where they were set to be the first African-American women to compete in the Olympic Games. They were in the sleeping car when one of their teammates woke them up by drenching them in a bucket of ice water. The culprit in this hostile racial assault? None other than Babe Didrikson, the golf, basketball, and track-and-field paragon who helped to bust down the barriers for women athletes. Didrikson has a heroic place in sports history, so it’s enraging and eye-opening to learn, in the new documentary “Olympic Pride, American Prejudice,” that even an athlete of her status and liberating power didn’t believe in a level playing field. The movie is about how four years later, the 1936 Olympic Games helped to sweep that attitude into the dustbin of history.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
