Abstract In this graphic novel account, Olympic gold medalist Tommie Smith documents his life and career before and after his 1968 protest against racial injustice during the gold medal ceremony in which he and teammate John Carlos raised black-gloved fists during the playing of the national anthem. Follows the struggles he and his family faced when they moved from Texas to California for a better life, the role the civil rights movement played in his life, and the backlash he faced after the Olympics were over.
