Victory. Stand!: Raising My Fist for Justice por Tommie Smith

Gr 8 Up—Tommie Smith, who famously raised his fist at the 1968 Olympic games, led an interesting life leading up
to and following that moment. The clashes between his personal ambitions and historic inequality make this graphic
memoir by turns enlightening and inspirational.

The Story:

I’m not sure what to say about this one. It’s an interesting story but not my thing (hence the absurd amount of time it took me to read it) so I don’t want to write home about it.

Victory. Stand!: Raising My Fist for Justice por Tommie Smith

Really spectacular book. Not only is it a moving and important account of recent Civil Rights history, but its also a well done graphic novel. Tommie Smith and John Carlos' story of defiance and activism in the midst of extraordinary accomplishment stands as a testimony to the powerful wrongs our country has done, and the risks the courageous are willing to take to work for change. Integrity should be rewarded.

Victory. Stand!: Raising My Fist for Justice por Tommie Smith

All I knew of Tommie Smith was the iconic photograph at the Olympics, his and John Carlos' fists raised in Black power. This excellent graphic novel chronicles Tommie's humble beginnings helping his family sharecrop in the South and then moving to California farming country; coming up through school and encountering racism; discovering his talent in track and field, all interspersed with moments from the medal-winning race that led to his moment of protest atop the podium. You can't help but think how so far ahead of their time was Tommie and his activist friends, how long it took for change to happen, and how much more it will take to keep moving towards racial justice. Powerful and wholly relevant, a must-read for young people.… (más)
