Black Power Salute
"If I win, I am American, not a black American. But if I did something bad, then they would say I am a Negro. We are black and we are proud of being black. Black America will understand what we did tonight."
- Tommie Smith
Tommie Smith (USA track and field athlete) won the gold medal for the 200-meter sprint at the 1968 Summer Olympics held in Mexico City.
