Who is Tydie Pickett?

I'm writing a paper on her, and if anyone has some resources on her, I'd be very grateful.

Louise Stokes and Tydie Pickett served as the first two African-American women to qualify for an Olympic team at the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles. The two women were famous because of racial prejudices still in effect in the South that limited Black athletes.
