Olympic medalist and civil rights icon to speak at Goddard College Undergraduate Commencement. The 1968 Olympic gold medalist Tommie Smith will be presented with the 2013 Presidential Award for Activism at Goddard’s October 6 commencement ceremony in Plainfield. All are welcome to attend.

Smith’s iconic "Black Power" salute as he stood on the Olympic podium at the 19th Olympiad remains one of the most memorable moments in sports history and the American Civil Rights Movement.

Smith received his Masters Degree in Sociology in 1974 from Goddard and has since enjoyed a distinguished career as a coach, educator and activist.
