Glenn Kaino Bridge Mug

One of the most memorable images from the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City is the symbolic act of protest by Tommie Smith, winner of the men’s 200-meter race. During the medal ceremony, Smith bowed his head and raised his fist as an assertion of Black solidarity in the fight for human rights. Decades later, artist Glenn Kaino collaborated with Smith to create the monumental sculpture Bridge. This stunning mug brings the essence of Kaino's innovative "Bridge" sculpture right to your fingertips. More than just a vessel for your favorite hot beverage - this mug is a tangible connection to a pivotal moment in the fight for civil rights. Use it daily to stay inspired and keep the momentum of progress moving forward.
