I met Dr. Tommie Smith and his wife this summer. Man he some stories for days....It was good to meet him, Dr. Dick Gregory, and Dr. Jeffries (who taught Tommie and his other teammate in college).
Not at all doubting his" brotherhood" since I don't follow the A's at all. Especially a bit player but he's is ALOT less melinated than the brother next to the white boy in the kneeling pic or say Andrew McCutcheon,a very melinated American born player.
