Detailed Solution

Tommie Smith and John Carlos won gold and bronze medals in the 200-meter race at the 1968 Mexico Olympics. Throughout the men's 200-meter run victory ceremony, they stood barefoot with their heads dropped and a single black-gloved fist raised during the national anthem. The sportsmen explained the gesture as a respect for their African-American heritage and a protest against minority living conditions in the United States. The 1968 Olympic Games were an athletic tournament held in Mexico City from October 12 to October 27, 1968. The modern Olympic Games were held for the 16th time in Mexico City.
