Victory. Stand!: Raising My Fist for Justice is a memoir by Tommie Smith, the Olympic gold medalist and civil rights activist. The book chronicles Smith's life from his childhood in Texas to his historic victory at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, where he raised his fist in a Black Power salute during the national anthem to protest racial inequality and discrimination. The book also delves into Smith's experiences as a student activist, his involvement in the Civil Rights Movement, and his struggles with racism and injustice both on and off the track. Throughout the book, Smith reflects on the power of activism and the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the face of adversity. The memoir serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice and equality in the United States, and inspires readers to continue fighting for a better future for all.
