EP 108: The 1968 Olympics and the Black Power Salute

This week on Hashtag History, we will be discussing the 1968 Olympics, the Black Boycott, and the Black Power Salute seen around the world. On October 16, 1968, two African-American Olympic athletes, Tommie Smith and John Carlos (who had just won gold and bronze respectively in the 200-meter sprint) took their place on the winners podium and each raised a black-gloved fist into the air as the United States National Anthem played. This act of protest on behalf of human rights would lead to a booing and hissing response from the audience and the eventual expulsion of both athletes involved. However, this image of Smith and Carlos with fists in the air would go down in History and would become one of the most iconic and most influential incidents in sports History.
