Twelve-year-old Sammy Lee watches divers leap gracefully into the public swimming pool and feels an overwhelming desire to try diving himself. But as a Korean American, Sammy (like any person of color) can use the pool only once a week. Young Sammy would never guessed that, sixteen short years later, he would become the first Asian American ever to win Olympic gold.
Penuel: The Sammy Lee Story is about the hard work, determination and triumph of an Olympian.
