From wikipedia:
Mabel Fairbanks (November 14, 1916-October 2001) was an African-American figure skater and coach.

She fell in love with figure skating in the 1930s when she saw Sonya Henie in movies. She could not skate in the 1930s because she was not allowed to join a skating club due to being African-American. She was secretly coached by Maribel Vinson Owen at night when African Americans were allowed admission to ice rinks. She eventually left the United States and became a show skater.
