Smithsonian honors Olympian Tommie Smith
The Smithsonian American Art Museum on Friday opened up a new exhibition paying tribute to former American track and field star Tommie Smith, whose iconic gesture protesting poverty and racism in the U.S. during the 1968 Olympics got him suspended from the competition. Jericka Duncan got an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the installation.
