He won the bronze-medal in the meters race at the Summer Olympics, where his Black Power salute on the podium with Tommie Smith caused much political controversy. He went on to equal the world record in the yard dash and beat the meters world record. After his track career, he enjoyed brief stints in the National Football League and Canadian Football League but retired due to injury. Smith would later be a key participant in the Black Power demonstration Carlos led at that year's Olympics. Even before the Black Power demonstration, Carlos was considered unique for his political motivation. In the end, the Committee only met the first condition, withdrawing its invites to South Africa and Rhodesia. In light of the Committee failing to meet most of the OPHC's conditions, the choice to participate in the Olympics was a difficult one for Carlos and his friend and competitor, Tommie Smith. Eventually, Carlos and Smith agreed they could make a greater impact by participating in the games and staging a demonstration on the podium if either athlete, or both of them, were to win. The details of the demonstration came together quickly, just 48 hours before the podium ceremony for the winners during the quarter semi-finals of the meter dash race. Smith won the gold medal in that event while Carlos won the bronze. The silver medal went to the Australian athlete, Peter Norman. Norman was a white man while Smith and Carlos were black. As Carlos and Smith approached the podium, they wore no shoes and black socks, which at the time was a well-known symbol for the widespread poverty facing black Americans. They also wore black gloves, which were accentuated when the pair lifted their fists in a Black Power solidarity salute. While Norman did not raise his fist, the white athlete agreed to participate in the protest by wearing a badge featuring the logo of Carlos's Olympic Project for Human Rights advocacy group. The IOC retaliated quickly and severely against Carlos and Smith; Committee President Avery Brundage condemned the act as inappropriately political for an event that, in his mind, was supposed to be apolitical. While Carlos and Smith were allowed to keep their medals, they were kicked off the US Team and forced to leave the Olympic Village immediately. The public's response, meanwhile, was fiercely divided.

This book is the story of John Carlos' life and there is no question that what he, Tommie Smith and Peter Norman did took a lot of courage and they paid a high price for the rest of their lives. The book is an easy read and it was interesting. The book paints John Carlos in a very favorable light and it glosses over his shortcomings, his wife committed suicide for Christ's sake. John Carlos deserves a lot of credit for addressing the status of black athletes in Time has healed many of the wounds however as we all know, it is a battle that is still being waged. One of the interesting aspects of the story. Peter Norman from Australia finished second in the meter and as a sign of support to the cause, he wore a patch on his jacket that supported the boycott of the Olympics by the black athletes. While Peter did not give the raised arm salute he was essentially ostracized by the Australian Olympic committee. He is probably the greatest sprinter ever from Australia. He never raced in an Olympic event again and was not even allowed to participate in the Olympics when they were held in Sydney. He probably paid as great a price for his actions as either Smith or Carlos. I have always found it interesting that Peter Norman is not included in the statue on the San Jose State campus. The pedestal where he stood is empty. The artist explains that the reason for this is to allow visitors to stand in his place and demonstrate their support of Carlos and Smith. I always thought that it would be more unifying to include Norman, a white sprinter, in the sculpture. Have a fourth pedestal next to the three for any visitor to stand. View 1 comment. Feb 03, Aaron Dennis rated it liked it Shelves: sports , african- am-lit. Written in a conversational style that is meant to capture John Carloss voice, this is a worthwhile read for people interested in the civil rights movements intersection with sports. Carlos tells the story of how he grew up in Harlem with a supportive family that gave him the confidence to stand up for what he thought was worth standing up for. I would have liked to have learned more about the specifics of what came in the years after. These years are covered, but in much less detail than the months leading up to the Games. The lead up has been so well documented elsewhere that for those already familiar with the story, a more intimate look at the less public details would add to the richness of the telling. Having an informal and candid voice makes this a potentially great choice for adolescent readers who would like to learn more about the man in the iconic photograph, and how he got there. The story is as relevant as ever, unfortunately, as the story continues to repeat itself in subsequent generations who feel they must take a stand on the platform they have attained, even if it risks everything they have worked so hard for.

    American Journalism, 26:2, 99-121 Copyright © 2009, American Journalism Historians Association A ‘Race’ for Equality: Print Media Coverage of the 1968 Olympic Protest by Tommie Smith and John Carlos By Jason Peterson During the Summer Olympics in 1968, Tommie Smith and John Carlos made history. Although they won the gold and bronze medals, respectively, in the 200-meter dash, their athletic accom- plishments were overshadowed by their silent protest during the medal ceremony. Images of Smith and Carlos each holding up a single, closed, gloved fist have become iconic reminders of the Civil Rights movement. What met the two men after their protest was criticism from the press, primarily sportswriters. This article examines media coverage of the protest and its aftermath, and looks at how reporters dealt with Smith’s and Carlos’s political and racial statement within the context of the overall coverage of the Olympic Games. n the night of October 16, 1968, at the Olympic Games in Mexico City, U.S. sprinter Tommie Smith set a world record for the 200-meter dash by finishing O 1 in 19.8 seconds.

  • Amid Gold Medals, Raised Black Fists Jeremy Larner and David Wolf Life Magazine November 1, 1968
    Amid Gold Medals, Raised Black Fists Jeremy Larner and David Wolf Life magazine November 1, 1968 When you stop to think about it, the small group of black track stars who organized the “Olympic Project for Human Rights” have got quite a lot done in less than a year. Led by Harry Edwards, a professor at San Jose State, they helped keep South Africa out of the Games. They humbled the prestigious New York Athletic club by publicizing its discriminatory membership policies and persuading an impressive number of top athletes to bypass the club’s famed annual meet. And they’ve ignited a lasting racial consciousness among the previously uncommitted black American college athletes. The most prominent spokesmen of the original group were Tommie Smith, Lee Evans and John Carlos, all of San Jose State. They are not separatists. They do not believe in violence. They are dedicated to ending what they see as exploitation of black athletes and, in the process, gaining dignity and equality for all black people. By the time this summer’s Olympic trials came around, the goals of the “Olympic Project” had engaged the sympathies of most of the black track men who made the Olympic squad. A clear majority wanted to express their feelings in some way at Mexico City. But they disagreed on methods of protest. All of them—even Smith, Evans and Carlos—are competitors and individualists by nature and political activists only sporadically. They never did get together on a unified course of action for the Games. They didn’t even test the support among their white teammates.

  • Olympic Project for Human Rights Button, Worn by Activist Athletes in the 1968 Olympic Games, Originally Called for a Boycott of the 1968 Olympic Games
    Fists of Freedom: An Olympic Story Not Taught in School By Dave Zirin It has been almost 44 years since Tommie Smith and John Carlos took the medal stand following the 200-meter dash at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City and created what must be considered the most enduring, riveting image in the history of either sports or protest. But while the image has stood the test of time, the struggle that led to that moment has been cast aside. PHOTO FAR-LEFT: Olympic Project for Human Rights button, worn by activist athletes in the 1968 Olympic games, originally called for a boycott of the 1968 Olympic Games. PHOTO RIGHT: This iconic photo appears in many U.S. history textbooks, stripped of the story of the planned boycott and demands, creating the appearance of a solitary act of defiance. When mentioned at all in U.S. history textbooks, the famous photo appears with almost no context. For example, Pearson/Prentice Hall’s United States History places the photo opposite a short three-paragraph section, “Young Leaders Call for Black Power.” The photo’s caption says simply that “…U.S. athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised gloved fists in protest against discrimination.” The media—and school curricula—fail to address the context that produced Smith and Carlos’ famous gesture of resistance: It was the product of what was called “The Revolt of the Black Athlete.” Amateur black athletes formed OPHR, the Olympic Project for Human Rights, to organize an African American boycott of the 1968 Olympic Games. OPHR, its lead organizer, Dr.

  • The Legacy- 1968 Summer Olympic Games, Mexico City
    The Legacy- 1968 Summer Olympic Games, Mexico City During the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, United States track athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos were awarded medals for their athletic efforts. However, the great athletic feat would soon be shadowed by one of the most memorable moments in the American Civil Rights Movement. Tommie Smith and John Carlos would protest the poor treatment of African-American people in the United States and stood to empower the African American community. This is a great symbol for the community of San Jose State University. Tommie Smith and John Carlos were both students at this prestigious university and showed San Jose State University students of the present and the future that students can make a difference on the global stage. Tommie Smith 1968 Olympic Gold Medalist, 200 Meter Race Born on June 6, 1944 in Clarksville, Texas, as an infant Tommie Smith barely survived a serious bout with pneumonia. But survive he did, to become a distinguished chapter of African American history. His college career at San Jose State University was highlighted with many achievements. He started breaking world records in track as a sophomore and did not stop until he tied or broken thirteen. With talent and encouragement to excel, Tommie Smith was propelled into human rights spokesmanship long before it became a popular cause. With his concern for the plight of African-Americans and others at home and abroad, Tommie made a commitment to dedicate his life to champion the cause of African-Americans. Having become a member of the National Track & Field Hall of Fame in 1978, and serving on the coaching staff of the 1995 World Indoor Championship team Barcelona, Spain he continues to expand his horizons of accomplishments.

  • Lee Evans Profile
    Lee Evans Profile: 400m 20-Year World Record Holder to Attend the 2015 Golden West Invitational’s “Olympic Day” Celebration By Bob Burns Lee Evans was the first man to break 44 seconds in the 400-meter dash, a symmetrical barrier requiring a sprinter to average less than 11 seconds for four consecutive 100 meters. That alone is enough to cement his place in track history. His 43.86 clocking lasted 20 years as the world record and still places Evans among the eight fastest performers in history 47 years later. Accomplishing the feat on the sport’s biggest stage, the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, while facing down furious challenges on and off the track, gives his gold medal additional luster. Lee Evans 2008 Astrid Barros photo Less known is the road Evans took to Mexico City, a journey that circled Northern California tracks for three and a half intense months in 1968. It started in June with a national collegiate title in Berkeley, continued with a victory at the AAU Championships in Sacramento, and reached even greater heights during the Final Olympic Trials at Echo Summit a few miles west of Lake Tahoe. At each Northern California stop, Evans, the world’s top one-lap sprinter in 1966 and 1967, outraced Villanova sophomore Larry James, a silky-smooth runner who had emerged as his most dangerous challenger.

The movement has been headlined by the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s extraordinary decision to kneel during the playing of the American national anthem during NFL pre-game ceremonies in 2016, his being black-balled out of the league, and his subsequent (and ongoing) condemnation of police brutality against African American men and other form of racial injustice in the U.S.
