About This Item
Norton Young Readers, 2022-09-26. hardcover. Like New. 10x0x12. 2022 signed second printing, W.W. Norton and Company (New York), 6 3/4 x 9 3/4 inches tall color pictorial hardcover, no dust jacket (as issued), graphic biography 220 pp. Nicely signed by author and Olympian Tommie Smith on the page preceding the title page. Otherwise, a near fine copy - clean, bright and unmarked. ~MMM~ [2.0P] On October 16, 1968, during the medal ceremony at the Mexico City Olympics, Tommie Smith, the gold medal winner in the 200-meter sprint, and John Carlos, the bronze medal winner, stood on the podium in black socks and raised their black-gloved fists to protest racial injustice inflicted upon African Americans. Both men were forced to leave the Olympics, received death threats, and faced ostracism and continuing economic hardships. In his first-ever memoir for young readers, Tommie Smith looks back on his childhood growing up in rural Texas through to his stellar athletic career, culminating in his historic victory and Olympic podium protest. Cowritten with Newbery Honor and Coretta Scott King Author Honor recipient Derrick Barnes and illustrated with bold and muscular artwork from Emmy Awardâwinning illustrator Dawud Anyabwile, Victory. Stand! paints a stirring portrait of an iconic moment in Olympic history that still resonates today.
