Kokeshi | Tommie Smith
At the 1968 Olympic Games, Tommie made history for breaking the 200m world record and for standing up against inequality. Tommie raised his arm on the victory stand in a silent prayer that is considered one of the most iconic images in sports history. His intention was to unite the world to fight together in the struggle for all human rights.
