Peter Westbrook wants to change the face of fencing. He is on a mission to diversify the sport, and is finding some of his talent right here in Harlem. Westbrook, a 1984 Olympic Bronze medalist, could have capitalized on his fame or just rested on his history-making accolades. Instead, in 1991, he created The Peter Westbrook Foundation, an academic enrichment and fencing program, as a way to pass on the life lessons he has learned through the sport.
