At the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City, what athletic duo caused controversy when they demonstrated the Black Power salute?

As "The Star-Spangled Banner" played in the Olympic Stadium in 1968, two African-American athletes, Tommie Smith, and John Carlos raised their black-gloved fists. The protest is considered one of the most openly political statements in contemporary Olympic history.
