The 1968 Olympics Black Power Salute: African American athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos raise their fists in a gesture of solidarity at the 1968 Olympic games. Australian Silver medalist Peter Norman wore an Olympic Project for Human Rights badge in support of their protest. Both Americans were expelled from the games as a result.
I found most of these photos and their background stories very interesting to say the least. Others, like the aforementioned #26, #12 and #3 feel more like publicity crap to me.
After all, shipping around half the world to shoot at foreign guys in their own country so that the few extra-rich bastards at home could sell more oil and become even richer... Yeah, that makes perfect sense.
