I bet you're not from New York but 1960s Alabama, RACIST.

And this was when they still had many forms of apartheid in the USA, with many Blacks / Whites state run only facilities.

Well, by 1968, a combination of laws (most notably the Civil Rights Act of 1964) at the federal level and Supreme Court decisions (i.e. Brown v. Board of Education, 1954) had killed shameful institutional racism segregation, but racism was still a nationwide plague, hence the protest. Dr. King was assassinated just months prior to Mexico City 1968.

What is this, sorry for sounding stupid. I heard something about it but I have no idea. Sorry if I am being really really stupid.

It was a black power sulute by Tommie smith and John Carlos,after coming 1st and 3rd in the 100m final of the Olympicss in Mexico 1960 something i think.

I had too do a 1000+ word essay on that picture in my last year at high school. Drag

Torvill and Dean. Far and away the most easy-to-root-for duo that discipline has ever had.

I wasn't even two years old when they won gold. But my mom--who doesn't even have a drop of British blood in her--will instantaneously yelp, "Torvill and Dean!" whenever anyone mentions ice dancing. I rememeber their comeback in 1994, when they just fell short. Aww!

As an American, I made an egregious omission in my original post:

Just one minute in, it looked like Total Football had won, but fate and chance can be cruel...
