ChevyVanMiller Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Take a few minutes and read about the other man in that iconic photo from the 1968 Olympics. A great read and it would make for a compelling 30 for 30. http://www.filmsforaction.org/articles/the-white-man-in-that-photo/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Good article. I always wondered why Smith and Carlos had gloves on opposite hands. As usual, the answer is pretty simple -- only brought one pair of gloves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I had the privilege of seeing both of them run in college. Fastest 100 I've ever witnessed. Smith false-started and stayed in the blocks after the restart. He was at least 5 yards behind the last guy in the race when he got out of his blocks. He won the race (barely), but it was close to the NCAA record at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
