Black History Month Honoree: TOMMY SMITH

________________________________________________________________________________________________

An American wins a gold medal
at the Olympics

He breaks a speed barrier
for the race he won
BUT

Instantly, he is banished
from the Olympic site
and becomes the most hated man
in the United States

TOMMY SMITH
1968
with fellow American medalist

Juan Carlos

When I first saw this image,
all I could think was
"Cool"
BUT
then he was banished
and hated
by the ruling
United States government
and flag-loving Americans

The stupidity
of this reaction
was unsurpassed
until 2016
when Americans elected
a President who shall
go unnamed
at this time


The next
Black History Month Honoree
is  here
