 1968 Summer Olympics Summary
Few who witnessed Tommie Smith's and John Carlos's fl power salute on the medal stand on 16 October, 1968, following their gold and bronze medal performances in the 200 meters at the Mexico City Olympic Games, could remain neutral about the sentiments behind their protest.
Smith and Carlos, in stocking feet, wearing fl beads and fl scarves, with their fl-gloved fists raised over their heads as the American national anthem was played, used the biggest stage in sports to air grievances about racial injustice in the United States.
The assassination of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King in April, 1968, only heightened tensions in the months leading up to the games, as did attempts by the white Olympic leadership to allow South Africa in the games, despite that nation's policy of racial apartheid.
