Again with the sports thing, if anyone sees this.
It mattered that #JesseOwens ran. It mattered that #JohnCarlos and #TommieSmith raised their fists.
The #Olympic games are coming, and Sports Matters in the World.
Please, if you know any athletes at all, beg them to make a scene.

Today in #LaborHistory 10/18/1968: IOC tried to strip US Olympic medalists #JohnCarlos & #TommieSmith of awards for giving #BlackPower salute. IOC pres Avery Brundage said they violently broke fundamental principles of Olympic spirit. Yet, had no objections to #Nazi salutes during 1936 Berlin games.

More than five decades later, his silent protest still speaks volumes. Whether through raised fists or taking a knee, the fight against racial and social injustice continues.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1968, black runners #TommieSmith and #JohnCarlos raised their fists in a #BlackPower / leftist resistance salute at an #Olympics ceremony. This country's history of racism has never been dealt with properly and continues to define our present and future.

A photo of a red folding bicycle with a blue-and-gold Ukraine flag hanging from the back seat. The bike is leaning against a low wall and positioned in front of a grassy expanse at San Jose State University, with the iconic Victory Salute statue in the background, depicting U.S. athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos at the 1968 Olympics with fists raised in a Black Power salute to protest racism faced by Black Americans.
Today my bicycle and I sat for an extra moment of pride, shame, and purpose in the company of these symbols of something greater.

John Carlos stands in front of what appears to be a black and white awning or tent. He is wearing a black cap with Ithaca College on it. Ithaca is in larger black letters bordered in white and College is below that in smaller white letters. He is wearing round dark glasses and has a well-trimmed white moustache and goatee. His shirt is white with three buttons that are buttoned up to the top and a small microphone is clipped between the top and next button. Over his shirt is a long, open jacket. The photo is cut off just a little below the shirt.
