John Carlos, an Olympic medalist in track and field, is remembered for his "Silent Protest" against racism and economic oppression at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics. The iconic image of he and teammate Tommie Smith raising a black-gloved fist during the victory ceremony is one of sports history's most memorable moments. Part of the 2011 Iowa State Conference on Race and Ethnicity.
