# Tomás Platero IV

Tomás Braulio Platero IV (1857–1925) was an Argentine lawyer, notary, and one of the founders of the centrist Radical Civic Union (UCR), Argentina's oldest existing political party, and among the most prominent Afro Argentine public figures of his time. He was a member of the Generation of '80.

## Early life

Platero was born in Buenos Aires in 1857 and, though slavery had been abolished in Argentina in 1812, Platero suffered from prevailing local discrimination against people of color. He joined the original Civic Union in 1890, and became a loyal supporter of the party's first leader, Leandro Alem, becoming a prominent member of the Committee of La Plata after an 1891 split in the Civic Union led to the establishment of the UCR (which advocated greater activism towards the goal of universal male suffrage).

## Later career

He was also the founder of the Professional Association of the Province of Buenos Aires, and President of the Electric Cooperative Society. Appointed Chief Civil Registry Director for the 3rd and 5th districts in Buenos Aires, he inherited a bookkeeping system whereby black births, marriages and deaths were recorded on separate ledgers, and eventually helped end the practice. He was later the founder and President of The Protector National Mutual Association. He was also a person of strong religious convictions, and a brother of the Franciscan Order.
Following Alem's 1896 suicide, Platero became a supporter of Dr. Hipólito Yrigoyen, whose activism led to the passage of the Sáenz Peña Law in 1912, and to Argentina's first democratic presidential elections, in 1916. A steadfast supporter of President Yrigoyen's, Platero was a vocal opponent of the Antipersonalistas (a more conservative wing of the UCR).
Platero died in La Plata on February 17, 1925, and his funeral was attended by the highest authorities of the UCR, including the Governor of Buenos Aires Province, José Luis Cantilo, Federico Zelarrayán (carrying condolences from Yrigoyen), and numerous other UCR figures. He was survived by his several children; the Platero family would go on to become prominent within La Plata's upper strata. His eldest son, Tomás Antonio Platero, became an important chronicler of Afro-Argentine history; his daughters Carmen and Susana were playwrights, actresses and singers, and contributed to the preservation of Afro-Argentine musical traditions.

# Ethelda Bleibtrey

Ethelda Marguerite Bleibtrey (February 27, 1902 – May 6, 1978), also known by her married name Ethelda Schlatke, was an American competition swimmer for the Women's Swimming Association, a three-time world record breaking 1920 Olympic gold medalist, and a former world record-holder in multiple events. She was one of the first women to compete in swimming in the Olympics, the first woman to win an Olympic swimming title, and the first woman to ever win three Olympic gold medals.

## Early life and activism

Bleibtrey was born in Waterford, New York, to John and Maggie Bleibtrey. She started swimming to help recover from polio, which she contracted in 1917. Bleibtrey swam for the Women's Swimming Association (WSA) of New York, founded by Charlotte Epstein in 1917, and coached by Louis Handley, a former 1904 Olympic gold medalist in swimming and water polo. Epstein would also manage the 1920 U.S. Women's Olympic swim team when Bleibtrey attended.
In 1919, Bleibtrey was arrested for "nude swimming" at Manhattan Beach after removing her stockings at a pool where it was forbidden to bare "the lower female extremities for public bathing." The subsequent public support for Bleibtrey helped lead to the abandonment of stockings as a conventional element in women's swimwear. Charlote Epstein, the manager of Bleibtrey's Women's Swimming Association also campaigned for more practical women's swimsuits, for allowing women to be members of the American Athletic Union, to add more AAU swimming events for women, and to include distance events for women in AAU competition.

## World records

Bleibtrey set the first official world record in the 440-yards freestyle on August 16, 1919, in New York, with a time of 6:30.2. She set a world record in the 100-meter freestyle of 1:13.6 at the August, 1920 Antwerp Olympics.

## 1920 Olympics

Bleibtrey was a dominant backstroke swimmer but entered and won gold medals in three freestyle events as there were no women's backstroke events yet offered at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium. Several of her 1920 U.S. Olympic teammates swam and trained with her at the WSA, including 1920 diving gold medalist Aileen Riggin, 1920 diving silver medalist Helen Wainwright, and 1920 100-meter participant Charlotte Boyle.
She also won a gold medal as a member of the winning U.S. team in the women's 4×100-meter freestyle relay, together with teammates Margaret Woodbridge, Frances Schroth and Irene Guest. The American relay team set a new world record of 5:11.6 in the event final. Individually, Bleibtrey also received gold medals and set world records in the women's 100-meter freestyle (1:13.6) and the women's 300-meter freestyle (4:34.0).
In later life, Bleibtrey coached and taught swimming in New York and Atlantic City and later became a nurse in North Palm Beach, Florida.

### Honors

Bleibtrey was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame as an "Honor Swimmer" in 1967. She died in West Palm Beach, Florida, in 1978.
