• Tommie Smith and John Carlos Then:
  In 1968 Smith set a world record in the 200-meter and teammate John Carlos nabbed the bronze. On the podium, while the U.S. national anthem played, the pair raised black-gloved hands and bowed their heads in protest of the conditions that African Americans were facing at home. Their actions met with such outrage that they were suspended from the U.S. team and banned from the Olympic Village. It is remembered as one of the most memorable events in athletics.

• Tommie Smith and John Carlos Now:
  Following the games both Smith and Carlos were ostracized and not given the respect they deserved until recently. A statue was raised in their honor on the campus of San Jose State University in 2005. The two received the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage at the 2008 ESPY Awards in July.
