He wore a human rights symbol on his shirt at the event to show his support for Tommie Smith and John Carlos in their protest against racial discrimination. The black gloves and clenched fists were designed to represent black power. To symbolise black poverty, Tommie Smith and John Carlos collected their medals while wearing black socks and no shoes. With this action, they attempted to call international attention to racial inequality in the United States.
