Below is a special section from the October 2008 edition of The Spartan Daily.

This wonderful 10 page colour booklet (PDF file, 10.7 Mb) is a nice anthology of stories all related to Bud Winter and Speed City.

It contains 9 short stories, and if you are a Bud Winter, Tommie Smith, John Carlos, or Speed City Fan, you'll enjoy it.

If you are a SJSU alumni, Human Rights activist or Historian, you'll enjoy it too.

The booklet even has a special section on the symbolism of the Silent Protest monument, which was erected in 2005 (see my visit to SJSU here)

Of course, there is the Saving Winter Field controversy, which I covered here several years ago.
