Download Silent Gesture: The Autobiography of Tommie Smith (Sporting) AudioBook Free
In the 1968 Olympics, Tommie Smith came up in first in the 200-meter dash. As they received their medals, he and bronze success John Carlos each raised a black-gloved fist, creating an indelible image of courage and protest that still resonates 40 years later. On this, his autobiography, Smith fills out the storyline of that minute - how it came to be and where it led him - and paints a brilliant picture of the long, agonizing backlash that came with his fame, and his destiny, which was rapped up in his "silent gesture".
