I walk past this photo every morning & in my opinion is one of the most important sports pictures ever shot. My wife @lailingjew came home from a fundraiser one evening carrying the photo and asked me if I knew anything about it and if I liked it. She said I thought that you might like it & it is signed by Dr. Juan Carlos. Hard to imagine that 55 years ago today Tommie Smith & Juan Carlos won gold & bronze medals in the 200 meter dash @ the #mexicocityolympics in 1968. But the event that these two American sprinters are remembered for came after the race and after the presentation of the medals & during the National Anthem, these two very brave civil rights activists raised their fist one right hand & one left, sharing one pair of gloves they raised their fists in a silent protest against racial inequality in the United States. The stance that Smith & Carlos took for their convictions got them suspended and sent home by the US Olympic Committee, the photo was seen around the world and has become an iconic moment in sport’s history for awareness of the racial injustice in the United States. The photo has deep mean & an incredible story hidden in the details. The story of the Australian silver medalist Peter Norman adds to the importance of the moment, he wore a badge on the podium in support of the Olympic Project for Human Rights (OPHR). After the final, Carlos and Smith had told Norman what they were planning to do during the ceremony. They asked Norman if he believed in human rights. He said he did. They asked him if he believed in God. Norman, who came from a Salvation Army background, said he believed strongly in God. We knew that what we were going to do was far greater than any athletic feat. He said, 'I'll stand with you'. Carlos said he expected to see fear in Norman's eyes. He didn't; 'I saw love'. After the 1968 Olympics, Norman's career suffered greatly, when he returned home to Australia a pariah, suffering unofficial sanction and ridicule as the Black Power salute's forgotten man. Check out a video @voxdotcom for the whole story. #tom mieSmith #johncarlos
