Part 2 Tommie Smith


Tommie Smith
1968 Gold Medalist won the 200m in 19.83s
The above image shows Tommie smith in the centre and John Carlos to the right showing the black power salute in 1968 Summer Olympics with silver medalist Peter Norman on the left.
I think its interesting how this salute for the photograph is now a recognised symbol and is still featured today. Below shows pumas trainers dedicated to the symbol and Tommie Smith. Internationally recognised.
