From National Champion to the United Nations: What Lillian GreeneChamberlain 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.
