On January 15th, 2016, Puma and Frank Da Butcher facilitated a meeting between Killer Mike and Olympian/activist Tommie Smith at The SWAG Shop in Atlanta, GA. Tommie Smith was the 1968 Summer Olympics Gold Medalist for the 200m dash, and while on the winners podium he and John Carlos raised their fists to show solidarity with people fighting internationally for human rights - resulting in one of the most iconic moments of the 20th century. Hear Tommie speak about his intent behind this, as well as the controversial reaction of people worldwide.
