Co-originator of the Human Rights salute, 1968 Olympic gold medalist and human rights activist Dr. Tommie Smith has trailblazed on and off the track. On the podium with John Carlos and Peter Norman, his Silent Gesture has shaped the foundation for many of the athletic protests we witness today. Dr. Smith will speak and participate in a Q&A activity with area youth during the online kick-off event on September 26.
Project 3000 is a collaborative initiative created in response to the economic and educational impact of COVID-19. The objective of Project 3000 is to assure that a defined three thousand (3,000) limited income Dane County families receive comprehensive help including, but not limited to, internet connectivity, virtual education support of both students and their parents/care givers, and food security.
