Victory. Stand!: Raising My Fist for Justice by Tommie Smith, Derrick Barnes

4.0

(TW for racial slur)I didn't know about a lot of Tommie Smith's advocacy or how harsh the Olympic Committee was on he and John Carlos after they raised their fist. And he tied a world record and then immediately got himself to the Selma march! And they got the Olympic committee to hire more black coaches and fire the Nazi on the committee! I learned a lot and the graphic format is fun too. Also also, cool tie to Ohio that Oberlin offered him the first real job he had post Olympics when Pontiac fired him!
