Backlash defined a gesture
Article Abstract:
The reaction to a photo of black athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos flashing the black power during their victory ceremony at the 1968 Olympiad was what was to make the photo one of the most powerful images in photojournalism. The athletes were subsequently thrown out of the US OLympic team and out of the country. The harsh penalties that the two suffered for what was, in reality, a mild gesture, was to send a chilling message to all black athletes since, which is to forget politics and take the money and run.
