Tommie Smith, who won the 1968 Olympic 200m and then raised a black-gloved fist on the medal stand, is getting his own Wheaties box.
The cereal brand is offering the special edition box for pre-order, available in April. All sales will be donated to the NAACP.
Smith was surprised with the box in an emotional scene featured in last year’s documentary, “With Drawn Arms.”
“We heard that you have always had a dream of being on this box,” General Mills senior director of global inclusion Jams Momon said in the scene, during which Smith wiped his eyes.
