The medal presentation for the Men’s 200 metres final at the 1968 Summer Olympics, American athletes, gold medalist Tommie Smith (in centre) and bronze medalist John Carlos (right) each raise a clenched fist and bow their heads during the United States National Anthem, as a Human Rights protest, while they stand on the podium with Australian silver medalist Peter Norman (1942-2006), in the Estadio Olimpico Universitario in Mexico City, Mexico on 16th October 1968. All three men wore badges expressing support for the Olympic Project for Human Rights; and Smith and Carlos' gestures have been described (by the men themselves) as both Black Power and Human Rights salutes.
