From National Champion to the United Nations: What Lillian Greene-Chamberlain Has Learned in a Lifetime of Running • When Lillian Greene-Chamberlain, Ph.D., was growing up in Harlem in the late 1940s and ’50s, she was told she shouldn’t compete in sports: “You can’t do that; you can’t play that; you might get hurt,” she remembers. She proved naysayers wrong and went on to become the first U.S. national champion in the 440-yard run, as well as the first African-American woman to represent the United States internationally in 400-meter and 800-meter races. Greene-Chamberlain, now 81, later served as the first director of the Physical Education and Sports Program for the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) from 1978 to 1988 and speaks fondly of her time breaking barriers alongside other female athletes. “We didn’t have role models,” she says. “We were our role models. We stepped over hurdles.”
