Tommie Smith, who was born June 6, 1944, is track & field athlete known for his performance at the 1968 Summer Olympics, in which he won the 200-meter sprint finals and gold medal in 19.83 seconds – the first time the 20-second barrier was broken legally. He is also known for giving the Black Power salute with John Carlos atop the medal podium. Smith and Carlos raised their black-gloved fists at the medal award ceremony while also wearing black socks and no shoes on the podium to represent African-American poverty in the United States. You can learn more about the events leading up to, during and after the Olympic Games in the HBO documentary “Fists of Freedom: The Story of the '68 Summer Games”, and also in Smith’s book, “Silent Gesture: The Autobiography of Tommie Smith”. 📚 #gsbauthorquotes #gsbquotestommiesmith . . . . . . . . . . #gasstationburrito #onthisday #literaryhistory #bookstagram #books #bookworm #author #authorquotes #authormemes #writer #writerquotes #tommiesmith #1968olympics #blackpower #blackvoices #blackhistory #inequality #humanrights #civilrights #injustice #fistsoffreedom https://www.instagram.com/p/CBG6YVwB_Ak/?igshid=m99ye5j1rbcu

“But let me have silence always, in the centre of the shouting—that is essential! Let me have silence so that no pin may drop and not be heard, and not a whisper escape us for all our spouting, nor the needle's scratching upon this gramophone of a circular cosmic spot. Hear me! Mark me! Learn me! Throw the mind's ear open—shut up the mind's eye—all will be music!” ―Wyndham Lewis 📚 #gsbauthorquotes #gsbquoteswyndhamlewis #gasstationburrito #books #bookish #booksofinstagram #Bookporn bookstagram #bookworm #booknerd #bookaholic #booklove #bookquotes #authorquotes #quotes #wyndhamlewis #silence #mindfulness #mindseye #mindsear #listen #whisper https://www.instagram.com/p/ClIZnQeutx5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
