What happened during the 1968 summer olympic games 200 m medal award ceremony, in which African-American athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos respectively received gold and bronze?
They raised their black-gloved fists as a symbol of "Black Power". The Australian Peter Norman, who had run second, wore an American "civil rights" badge as support to them on the podium. As punishment, the International Olympic Committee banned Smith and Carlos from the Olympic Games for life, and Norman was left off the Australian 1972 Olympic team.
