Fifty years ago today, when the national anthem began to play at the medal ceremony of the 1968 Olympic Games, U.S. Olympians Tommie Smith and John Carlos bowed their heads and raised their fists.
Smith and Carlos won gold and bronze respectively in the 200-meter sprint in Mexico City. Then they used the podium to protest.
They wore black socks without shoes as a symbol for African American poverty. Carlos, who won the bronze, unzipped the jacket of his track suit in solidarity with U.S. blue-collar workers. Both wore beads in honor of lynching victims.
Peter Norman, the Australian silver medalist, also joined the protest in solidarity by wearing a badge for the Olympic Project for Human Rights (OPHR). Smith and Carlos were booed, told to leave the stadium, and the U.S. Olympic Committee suspended the two athletes.
This statue is in our @nmaahc, which also has the warm-up track suit Smith wore for the 1968 games in its collection.
