Description: Here you have a wonderful bit of OLYMPICS and HISTORICAL MEMORABILIA! Please...SEE THE SCANS! This is the famous image of TOMMIE SMITH and JOHN CARLOS AT THE 1968 OLYMPICS IN MEXICO CITY. After failing to convince their fellow Black athletes to boycott the Mexico City 1968 Olympics, Tommie Smith and John Carlos succeeded in winning the gold and bronze medals in the 200 meters track & field event. Determined to use the grand stage of the Olympic games as a platform for protest, Smith and Carlos accepted their medals in bare feet (to bring attention to the poverty of the African-American community), wearing beads (in honor of the countless blacks murdered as victims of slavery or racism), and holding black-gloved fists in the air (the "Black Power" salute).The poster measures 24 inches tall X 36 inches wide. The poster has corner issues where it was hung and you can see some vertical creasing. This poster was distributed by IMPORT IMAGES... This poster has long been OUT OF PRINT...
