challenging dark emotional informative inspiring sad tense fast-paced

4.5

I am a history buff and yet I had not known much about Tommie Smith and Derrick Barnes. This graphic novel was incredibly informative. I just wish that we got an inside look on how Tommie’s Smith family thought about his actions during the Olympics. The reason being is that he talked highly about his family throughout the entire graphic novel, except after the Olympics.

emotional informative tense medium-paced

The black and white art work made the time setting of the story come alive. A great way to introduce this history of athletics and protest. The was very informative regarding Mr. Smith's upbringing and also the activism of Black college athletes. Usually when this event is discussed, it focuses primarily on the Olympics and neglects the greater struggle of the Black Athlete and citizen.
