 In their epic showdown, “The Fight of the Century,” Muhammad Ali takes on the Champ, Smokin' Joe Frazier. It's a stunning exhibition of strength, pain, and violence. Their fight is covered by many great writers, who transform Ali into an avatar of the age as they celebrate his ascendance as the People's Champ. A new boxing contender enters the scene: the giant George Foreman while Miriam Makeba wins hearts as she's dubbed Mama Africa by her fans.   REFERENCE MATERIALS: "Ali: A Life" by Jonathan Eig "The Fight" by Norman Mailer "Ego" (Life magazine Cover Story, March 19, 1971) article by Norman Mailer "The Redemption of the Champion" (Life magazine, Sept 9, 1966), article by Gordon Parks "Shadow Box" by George Plimpton  "Ringside: A Treasury of Boxing Reportage" by Budd Schulberg  "The Greatest, My Own Story" by Muhammad Ali (autobiography) "Smokin' Joe" by Joe Frazier and Phil Berger (autobiography) "Smokin' Joe: The Life of Joe Frazier" by Mark Kram Jr.  "By George" by George Foreman (autobiography) Miriam Makeba FBI file (available online at: https://vault.fbi.gov/miriam-makeba)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Day 1 of Black History Bootcamp, Season 8: Today, we start with the story of Tommie Smith and John Carlos, two Black men who risked it all at the 1968 Olympics by raising their fists in a powerful stand for justice. Their silent protest on the podium echoed the pain, pride, and resilience of a community fighting for equality. As we walk together, we reflect on their courage and ask ourselves: When do we raise a fist in defiance, and when do we open our hand in connection? This season invites us to honor the past while mobilizing for change in our present. Join us for this 21-day journey of strength, solidarity, and healing.

Sent us text! We would love to hear from you!Accomplishing purpose driven goals requires commitment as well as enduring periods of discomfort. Athletes in general and olympians in particular, experience many years of extreme physical and emotional stress in their quest to be the best in their sport.This year's Summer Olympics has been historic for many reasons. One of the key moments of distinction was at the conclusion of the Womens Gymnastics 2024 Olympic Floor final results which had three black women at the podium, all at the same time, being awarded the gold, silver and bronze medal respectively. The crowd in attendance cheered and applauded with great joy. This celebration in Paris was in stark contrast to the final result of the Mens 200 meter dash at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City where John Carlos and Tommie Smith gave a Black Power salute. With each man raising a black-gloved fist as a sign of defiance of the racial condition afflicting the majority black people in their quest for equality in the USA during that tumultuous era, contrary to being celebrated they found themselves vilified and shunned by mainstream media for causing discomfort for those unaccustomed to challenge of the social status quo. For more good news, former New York City mayor, Michael Bloomberg does it again. His philanthropic organization has donated an additional 600 million dollars on top of the one billion dollar donation he's already provided to Johns Hopkins School of Medicine just two months ago. This time his donation will be directed specifically to four historically black medical schools, doubling their overall endowments in the long term quest to narrow racial health care disparities across the country. When people hear the term ‘spin' with an airplane it brings up the thoughts of a disaster. But in the rarefied air of Naval Aviation, there is a type of spin that is a good thing. That term is used exclusively in carrier aviation when the visual landing pattern is so full of aircraft that there is room for no more. In that case additional aircraft approaching the pattern may be told to “spin it”, meaning they simply need to take their formation and circle the ship to allow additional time for space to develop in the landing pattern so they can enter safely and land normally. Meet a wingman who does good deeds to neighbors in need by providing free lawn care and property maintenance to those unable to care for it themselves due to the challenges of life. His selfless service transforms the lives and local communities for those who are less fortunate.

REDIFF - Le 16 octobre 1968, aux JO de Mexico, Tommie Smith et John Carlos marquaient l'histoire en brandissant un poing ganté de noir sur le podium du 200 m. Un geste historique, qui a cependant brisé la vie d'un homme. Dans "Ah Ouais ?", Florian Gazan répond en une minute chrono à toutes les questions essentielles, existentielles, parfois complètement absurdes, qui vous traversent la tête. Un podcast RTL Originals.

In this episode of "Three Good Things," we explore the complex relationship between politics, protests, and the Olympic Games. From Peter O'Connor's flag protest in 1906 to the powerful 1968 salute by Tommie Smith and John Carlos, and the tragic events of Munich 1972, discover how politics has always been intertwined with the Olympics. Reflect on the resilience and unity of the Games, even amidst conflict, and look forward to the Paris Games with the new motto: "Alone we go faster, together we go further."

È una delle foto più iconiche nella storia dei giochi olimpici. Il podio dei 200 metri maschili alle olimpiadi di Città del Messico 1968. Durante l'esecuzione dell'inno nazionale, dopo la consegna delle medaglie, il vincitore, lo statunitense Tommie Smith ed il connazionale John Carlos, giunto terzo, sollevarono il pugno guantato di nero, per sostenere la lotta dei diritti civili per gli afroamericani. Alla protesta partecipò anche il secondo classificato, l'australiano Peter Norman, indossando una spilla che sosteneva il movimento “progetto olimpico per i diritti umani”. John Carlos, la cui “Autobiografia di una leggenda, i pugni olimpici che hanno cambiato il mondo” edizioni DeriveApprodi è stata pubblicata anche in italiano nel 2024, racconta il 16 ottobre 1968, giorno della gara, le sue sensazioni, la determinazione a lasciare un segno nella memoria collettiva, segno suggerito dalla frequentazione di due grandi attivisti per i diritti della comunità afroamericana, Malom X e Martin Luther King.Una forma di protesta che ha avuto ripercussioni enormi per i tre protagonisti di quel podio. A lungo quel gesto è stato condannato da parte della società civile e dalle istituzioni sportive, ma allo stesso tempo i tre sono ancora oggi considerati un simbolo, degli eroi da chi sostiene le cause dei più deboli e da chi non ha voce.

Tous les quatre ans, les yeux du monde entier sont rivés sur les athlètes des cinq continents qui s'affrontent, sans relâche, dans diverses disciplines. Mais derrière la sueur et les exploits sportifs, les Jeux olympiques sont aussi le théâtre d'affrontements d'un autre genre. Dans une série inédite en trois épisodes, Virginie Girod vous raconte trois éditions qui ont marqué l'histoire des JO modernes par leurs controverses. Dans cet épisode accompagné d'archives d'Europe 1, plongez au cœur des JO de 1968, à Mexico. Les coureurs Noirs Américains Tommie Smith et John Carlos s'illustrent par leurs performances lors du 200 mètres. Alors qu'ils montent sur le podium pour recevoir leurs médailles respectives, ils regardent le sol et lèvent leur poing ganté de noir. Un symbole de protestation contre l'oppression des Noirs aux Etats-Unis, qui n'est pas sans déplaire au Comité Olympique.

1968, Jeux olympiques de Mexico. L'Afro-Américain Tommie Smith décroche la médaille d'or du 200 mètres. Et, devant les caméras du monde entier, baissant la tête, il lève son poing ganté de noir. Un geste de protestation contre les discriminations dont sont victimes les Noirs américains, et plus largement tous ceux dont les droits sont bafoués dans le monde. La semaine dernière, Tommie Smith visitait l'exposition « Olympique, une histoire du monde », à Paris. L'occasion de revenir sur ce geste qui a fait le tour du monde, et changé sa vie. « J'avais une paire de gants, j'ai pris le droit et donné le gauche à John [Carlos]. L'hymne a duré 1 minute 31 secondes. C'était la plus longue minute et demie de ma vie », se remémore Tommie Smith. 1968. Aux États-Unis, Martin Luther King est assassiné ; les émeutes se multiplient, la ségrégation raciale empoisonne les mentalités et le monde est à feu et à sang. Tommie Smith a 24 ans. Aux Jeux olympiques de Mexico, il décide, avec un autre athlète qui lui aussi court le 200 mètres, John Carlos, de lever leur poing ganté de noir une fois monté sur le podium de la victoire. « Le podium, c'était celui pour lequel beaucoup d'athlètes se battent, le podium le plus haut. C'était une nécessité pour moi de sacrifier ce moment, pour que le monde entier le voie. Je m'élevais contre le fait que penser aux droits humains soit illégal », explique l'athlète.Tommie Smith parle de sacrifice. De fait, après leur geste, John Carlos et lui sont suspendus par le Comité international olympique. Les deux athlètes doivent quitter Mexico, et sont ensuite interdits de compétition à vie. Le CIO estime qu'une protestation politique n'a pas sa place aux JO. Ils reçoivent aussi des menaces de mort. « Le sport est une plateforme extraordinaire »En 56 ans, le CIO n'a toujours pas présenté d'excuses. Ce qui n'a pas empêché d'autres athlètes d'avoir, eux aussi, des gestes politiques. Comme le joueur de football américain, Colin Kaepernick, qui, en 2016, met un genou à terre avant ses matchs.« Il protestait contre les brutalités policières et le racisme. Et vous savez, il souffre toujours de ce geste, parce que c'était un grand geste, salue Tommie Smith. Je suis fier de ce jeune homme parce qu'il a pris position. Le sport est une plateforme extraordinaire. »Après les Jeux olympiques de Mexico, le record de Tommie Smith sur 200 mètres tiendra onze ans. Mais au vu des mesures de rétorsion qui le frappent, le champion doit se reconvertir. Il devient entraîneur. Et à 80 ans, il suivra de près les JO de Paris.« Je suivrai toutes les courses. Moi, ma distance, c'était le 200 mètres – le 100 et le 400 aussi. Et il y a un jeune athlète, Noah Lyles, qui compte gagner le 100, le 200 et le 400 mètres. Il a exactement l'âge que j'avais à Mexico. Mais lui, il continuera. Moi, c'était ma dernière course, je n'en ai pas fait une seule depuis Mexico... Donc, oui, tout le monde doit garder un œil sur Noah Lyles », conclut l'athlète américain.À lire aussiJO 2024: Tommie Smith, toujours le poing levé

Au Palais de la Porte Dorée, à Paris, se tient, jusqu'à la fin des Jeux olympique, une exposition consacrée à l'histoire des Jeux modernes. De 1896 à Athènes jusqu'à Paris 2024, l'histoire des Jeux olympiques est le miroir de l'histoire mondiale et les JO sont les témoins et les acteurs des soubresauts de la géopolitique mondiale. C'est que met en lumière cette exposition pédagogique et très complète. L'olympisme est le miroir du monde. Théâtre de ses luttes, de ses rêves et de ses contradictions. Voilà ce qu'a voulu mettre en lumière le Palais de la Porte Dorée. « C'est cinq ans de travail avec sept commissaires, à la fois des historiens et des conservateurs, pour croiser deux histoires, explique sa directrice générale Constance Rivière. L'histoire du monde depuis la fin du XIXe siècle et l'histoire de l'olympisme. »Pour chaque olympiade, d'Athènes en 1896 jusqu'à Tokyo en 2021, l'exposition entremêle l'histoire des sportifs ayant marqué les Jeux et celle des soubresauts du monde. « C'est à la fois toutes les grandes luttes, les luttes sociales, les luttes pour l'égalité, les luttes pour les femmes qui se reflètent dans l'histoire des Jeux. Ce sont aussi les grands conflits du monde : la guerre froide, les deux guerres mondiales, la lutte pour la décolonisation », énumère Constance Rivière.Malgré l'apolitisme revendiqué par le Comité international olympique, les Jeux deviennent quasiment dès le départ une affaire de géopolitique. Dans cette enceinte planétaire se mettent en scène la puissance des uns et les luttes des autres. À cet égard, les Jeux de Berlin en 1936 resteront comme un triste exemple. Pour l'historien Yvan Gastaut, Hitler se sert des Jeux et les Jeux servent Hitler : « À ce moment-là, le sport et le nazisme se sont reliés dans un même intérêt, ce qui pose problème. Dans cette exposition, on ne veut pas négliger cette dimension, explique-t-il. On n'est pas dans une histoire officielle qui serait de montrer les très bons côtés du CIO (il y en a), mais de montrer que parfois aussi le système olympique est parti en errements, et s'est dévoyé par rapport à des systèmes politiques qui ont utilisé le sport. »Quelle meilleure enceinte que ces rendez-vous quadriennaux pour faire valoir ses droits ? En 1968 à Mexico, Tommie Smith et John Carlos, deux athlètes noirs américains, montent sur le podium du deux cents mètres et inscrivent, poing levé, pour l'histoire le geste politique dans l'arène sportive.  Ce geste sportif dans l'arène politique, c'est justement de lever le poing, d'être le symbole d'une lutte antiraciste, contre le racisme dont sont victimes les afro-américains à cette époque-là. D'une manière assez géniale, ces deux hommes se sont exprimés avec force, avec puissance. Ils ont payé le prix de leur geste, puisqu'ils sont exclus des jeux. Et, ils vont devenir des parias, jusqu'à être aujourd'hui – encore vivants tous les deux-réhabilité au nom de leur engagement. Dès les années soixante les nations décolonisées apparaissent aux Jeux. Les JO sont pour les jeunes nations africaines et asiatiques un moment clé. Celui où leur nom et leurs drapeaux apparaissent, où leur hymne national est joué, où leurs sportifs jouent sous leurs couleurs. L'olympisme est aussi – et peut-être même avant tout – une immense lutte de libération.À lire aussiArt et sport: «L'Olympisme. Une invention moderne, un héritage antique», au Louvre

Let's get one thing out of the way, right off the bat: sports and “purpose” have always been intertwined. For all the moaning from the “shut up and dribble” crowd, athletes and sports have ALWAYS provided a platform to shine a light on the issues of the day. Think about it. Jesse Owens and the 1936 Olympics. Jackie Robinson joining the Dodgers. Tommie Smith and John Carlos raising their fists in Mexico City. Billie Jean King's match with Bobby Riggs. Yes, of course, these were sporting events. But in the end, they were So. Much More. And the images and memories of those events are indelible because of it. That intersection of sports and purpose is where this episode's guest Brianna Salvatore Dueck lives. As Head of Strategy for 17 Sport, she's helping brands and sports properties realize the true potential of their partnerships by ensuring that “purpose” is front and center. In this episode, Brianna and I talk about her work at 17 Sport, and the path she took to get there. We touch on what goes into crafting effective, purpose driven campaigns, why they're no longer a luxury, and even how they can be measured. The former D1 hoops player even shares her go to shot for beating her 6' 8” husband in HORSE.

You've probably seen the image: Tommie Smith and John Carlos standing on an Olympic podium in Mexico City in 1968, accepting their medals, heads bowed, with a gloved fist raised in the air. It's one of the most enduring moments not just from that Olympics, but in all of American history. It was a representation of the Black Power and Civil Rights Movements on a global stage…and you probably don't know the full story. So today, 55 years after his iconic act of defiance, we revisit one of our favorite moments of the year, when Dr. John Carlos sat down with David Dennis, Jr. to discuss the impact it had on himself and those around him…and we delve into the mind of a 23-year-old who was ready to change the world.

Today we are joined by the sports journalist David Steele, who has written for the Sporting News, AOL, the Baltimore Sun and the San Francisco Chronicle, and won awards from the National Association of Black Journalists, the Association of Black Media Workers, the Associated Press Sports Editors, and the Society of Professional Journalists. He is also the author of It Was Always a Choice: Picking up the Baton of Athlete Activism (Temple UP, 2022). In our conversation, we discuss the beginnings of black athlete activism in the 20th century, the different approaches pursued by black and white athletes across the century, and whether or not athletes should use their privileged position to promote positive change in the world. In It Was Always A Choice, Steele explores two interconnected histories: the longer durée story of black athlete activism in the 20th and 21st centuries, beginning with Jack Johnson in the 1910s, and the history of the Colin Kaepernick's kneeling protests and how contemporary athlete activists have engaged with the broader Black Lives Matter movement. The book moves both chronologically and thematically, alternating between past and contemporary activist moments to tie them together. His chapters centre on specific questions: “Your Presence Is an Act of Protest: Jack Johnson, Joe Louis, Jesse Owens, and Jackie Robinson” looks at American sports idols and illustrates the significant challenges that they faced to competition but also the limits of their protest. In their case, their presence was often the only kind of protest available to them. In some instances – for example Jesse Owen's case – they later stood up against the more radical protests of the 1960s. Steele was influenced by Kaepernick's protest and the Black Lives Matter movement to write the book, and that alone would have been an interesting story, but the real strength of the work is how he finds the echoes of these movements in earlier radical efforts by male and female black athletes to change American society. He makes references in many chapters to Tommie Smith and John Carlos, whose work with the Olympic Project for Human Rights and raised fist protest acted as a spiritual predecessor to Colin Kaepernick's protest. He also notes early flag protests such as Eroseanna “Rose” Robinson's refusal to stand for the US National Anthem during the 1959 Pan America Games. His work also points out the ways that athlete activists have succeeded and failed to change the broader culture. Although black athletes have won significantly inside of sporting organizations, Colin Kaepernick's protests have highlighted how far American society still must go. The WNBA might be the most progressive league: the Atlanta Dream's players forced out an owner that they opposed and then successfully campaigned against her running for the US Senate. It Was Always A Choice raises interesting questions about the nature of athlete protests. Steele's chapter “Peter Norman, Chris Long, and Gregg Popovich: White Allies” shows the ways that white athletes can support their black teammates and players; some members of the public and sporting leagues seem more receptive to the Black Lives Matter message from white athletes. Steele offers a strong but nuanced criticism of Micheal Jordan, OJ Simpson and Tiger Woods who “dropped the baton” and privileged their own financial success over their politics. White House visits both offer opportunities for the government to promote the popularity of the president but also a chance for athletes to protest against them. Steele's work demands that athletes (and readers) make a choice. It is a must read for people interested in the history of athlete protest and as a whole or in individual chapters it would be useful for teaching the history of sport.

The book moves both chronologically and thematically, alternating between past and contemporary activist moments to tie them together. His chapters centre on specific questions: “Your Presence Is an Act of Protest: Jack Johnson, Joe Louis, Jesse Owens, and Jackie Robinson” looks at American sports idols and illustrates the significant challenges that they faced to competition but also the limits of their protest. In their case, their presence was often the only kind of protest available to them. In some instances – for example Jesse Owen's case – they later stood up against the more radical protests of the 1960s. Steele was influenced by Kaepernick's protest and the Black Lives Matter movement to write the book, and that alone would have been an interesting story, but the real strength of the work is how he finds the echoes of these movements in earlier radical efforts by male and female black athletes to change American society. He makes references in many chapters to Tommie Smith and John Carlos, whose work with the Olympic Project for Human Rights and raised fist protest acted as a spiritual predecessor to Colin Kaepernick's protest. He also notes early flag protests such as Eroseanna “Rose” Robinson's refusal to stand for the US National Anthem during the 1959 Pan America Games. His work also points out the ways that athlete activists have succeeded and failed to change the broader culture. Although black athletes have won significantly inside of sporting organizations, Colin Kaepernick's protests have highlighted how far American society still must go. The WNBA might be the most progressive league: the Atlanta Dream's players forced out an owner that they opposed and then successfully campaigned against her running for the US Senate. It Was Always A Choice raises interesting questions about the nature of athlete protests. Steele's chapter “Peter Norman, Chris Long, and Gregg Popovich: White Allies” shows the ways that white athletes can support their black teammates and players; some members of the public and sporting leagues seem more receptive to the Black Lives Matter message from white athletes. Steele offers a strong but nuanced criticism of Micheal Jordan, OJ Simpson and Tiger Woods who “dropped the baton” and privileged their own financial success over their politics. White House visits both offer opportunities for the government to promote the popularity of the president but also a chance for athletes to protest against them. Steele's work demands that athletes (and readers) make a choice. It is a must read for people interested in the history of athlete protest and as a whole or in individual chapters it would be useful for teaching the history of sport.

On October 16, 1968, Tommie Smith and John Carlos lifted their fists to give the Black Power salute during the national anthem at the medal ceremony in the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. Smith and Carlos won gold and bronze medals, respectively, in the 200-meter dash. The International Olympic Committee president deemed the act to be a domestic political statement that was inappropriate for the apolitical Olympic Games. As a result, the two were suspended from the American team, banned from the Olympic Village, and expelled from the Games. Smith continued in athletics and played in the NFL before becoming a professor. Carlos also played in the NFL and later became a high school track and field coach. In 2008, Smith and Carlos received the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at ESPYs for their action at the Olympics. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

You've probably seen the image: Tommie Smith and John Carlos standing on an Olympic podium in Mexico City in 1968, accepting their medals, heads bowed, with a gloved fist raised in the air. It's one of the most enduring moments not just from that Olympics, but in all of American history.

Here at Cinema60 we've embraced the endless task of putting a pin in the entirety of Sixties cinema. However, one area where we have been remiss in our duties is documentaries – a genre that truly came into its own during this decade. Films like Robert Drew's Primary and Jean Rouch & Edgar Morin's Chronicle of a Summer began to break from the popular “voice of God” expository mode, giving way to a greater variety of non-fiction documentary filmmaking techniques. By the end of the decade, the narrated newsreel style was relegated primarily to television, and movie theaters were home to the newer forms.In this episode, Cinema60 looks at documentaries in 1969 – examining just how far the genre had progressed in ten years. Using Bill Nichols landmark text Representing Reality (1991) as a guide for describing what documentary looked like at the time, Bart and Jenna delve into the wealth of styles the genre had splintered into and take a look at some of the most exceptional documentaries ever made.The following films are discussed:• A Married Couple (1969) Directed by Allan King Starring Billy Edwards, Antoinette Edwards, Bogart Edwards• Salesman (1969) Directed by Albert Maysles, David Maysles & Charlotte Zwerin Starring Paul Brennan, Charles McDevitt, James Baker• In The Year of the Pig (1969) Directed by Emile de Antonio Starring Lyndon B. Johnson, Ho Chí Minh, Robert McNamara• The Sorrow and the Pity (1969) Le chagrin et la pitié Directed by Marcel Ophüls Starring Helmut Tausend, Marcel Verdier, Alexis Grave• The Olympics in Mexico (1969) Olimpiada en México Directed by Alberto Isaac Starring Enrique Lizalde, Tommie Smith, John Carlos• Diaries, Notes and Sketches (also known as Walden) (1969) Directed by Jonas Mekas Starring Timothy Leary, Edie Sedgwick, Norman Mailer

The year 1968 was a time of rebellion across the US and the wider world. Tremendous demonstrations and rebellions shook American cities in opposition to the Vietnam War, the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., and the arrest of Huey P. Newton, co-founder of the Black Panther Party. Amidst this tumult, two athletes, John Carlos, and Tommie Smith, captured the spirit of the times by raising their fists at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics after placing first and third in the 200-meter dash. 45 years later, Dr. John Carlos is still with us—but many of his contemporaries have passed on. Dr. John Carlos joins Edge of Sports for a look back on the lives of Jimmy Hines, Ralph Boston, Herb Douglas, Harry Belafonte, Tina Turner, and Jim Brown.Elsewhere in this episode of Edge of Sports, Dr. Maria Veri, co-author of Gridiron Gourmet: Gender and Food at the Football Tailgate, joins to discuss the gender politics of tailgating culture.

On October 16, 1968, during the medal ceremony at the Mexico City Olympics, Tommie Smith, the gold medal winner in the 200-meter sprint, and John Carlos, the bronze medal winner, stood on the podium in black socks and raised their black-gloved fists to protest racial injustice inflicted upon African Americans. Both men were forced to leave the Olympics, received death threats, and faced ostracism and continuing economic hardships.In his first-ever memoir for young readers, Tommie Smith looks back on his childhood growing up in rural Texas through to his stellar athletic career, culminating in his historic victory and Olympic podium protest.

When thinking about the history of the struggle for racial equality in America, prominent individuals such as Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, and Frederick Douglass often come to mind. However, sports have also been a vehicle to driving American society forward, with key moments including Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in Major League Baseball, Muhammad Ali refusing to go to war in Vietnam, and Tommie Smith flashing the Black Power fist at the 1968 Olympics.These acts were met with vitriol at the time, but these athletes made their mark on and off the field by pushing society forward. When Colin Kaepernick began kneeling instead of standing for the national anthem to open a dialogue about Black people and policing in America in 2016, it also angered a significant portion of the NFL fanbase and franchise owners. Kaepernick has not played in the NFL since then, despite being 29 at the time, never officially retiring, and having made a Super Bowl appearance as a starting quarterback. Before Kaepernick, former NBA player Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf similarly sat for the national anthem as a silent protest for his religious beliefs. He was also met with derision and left the league two years later at age 28.On today's WorkInSports Podcast, we examine the societal impact of Black athletes throughout American history to contextualize today's climate of athlete activism. VP of Content and Engaged Learning Brian Clapp speaks with Dr. Shaun Anderson, Associate Professor of Organizational Communication at Loyola Marymount and author of The Black Athlete Revolt. The two discuss:• Sports' role as a catalyst for bringing societal issues to light• The history of athletes, particularly Black athletes, using their voice to drive societal change and why that movement stopped in the 80s and early 90s• The price Black athletes like Abdul-Rauf and Kaepernick pay for speaking out• The effectiveness of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs in what specifically?Enjoy the full episode for an enlightening perspective on the impact of Black athletes on society.

It has been more than 50 years since Tommie Smith and his Olympic teammate John Carlos raised their fists on the medal stand in support of racial justice. In the memoir "Victory. Stand!" we learn about Smith's life. The book is a graphic novel aimed at young readers. Joining us is Charlotte resident Derrick Barnes, one of the book's authors.

On the latest episode of the Rex Chapman Show with Josh Hopkins, the guys are joined by ABA/NBA veteran Len Elmore, who is now a practicing attorney and professor for Columbia University. He discusses how his passion for both education and sports helped him flourish into the incredibly accomplished man he is both on and off the basketball court.  5:00 - How much of Len's upbringing during the Civil Rights Movement helped influence his pursuits later in life outside of basketball? 8:30 - It wasn't basketball, but baseball that Len wanted to pursue as a professional athlete. That was at least until his growth spurt changed everything. 9:30 - Len played basketball like Chief in One Flew Over The Cucko's Nest 13:00 - Len discusses his transition from growing up in New York, and attending college at Maryland. Basketball became the culture on that campus as they became one of the best teams in the country. 16:30 - As an accomplished broadcaster himself, of course the guys have to ask Len about calling the iconic Duke-Kentucky game that ended with Christian Laettner's game winner. 22:30 - Len recalls the impact that watching John Carlos and Tommie Smith in the 1968 Olympics had on him, combined with reading Malcom X's autobiography. He said it caused an awakening for him then, and he continues to hold those principles to this day. 37:30 - Len never felt like basketball was beneath him with all of his scholarly pursuits, but he just decided after 10 seasons he was just done. 42:30 - There were plenty of Len's former teammates who took to heart what advice he had for them, knowing everyone needed to find their life's work after basketball.  47:00 - Len and the rest of the Terps gave John Wooden, Bill Walton and UCLA their toughest test as they were in the greatest winning streak in college basketball history. 50:00 - The NCAA Tournament had to expand their field after Len and Maryland were left out after losing the ACC Tournament to NC State 52:00 - Even though they weren't close, the passing of Len Bias just absolutely rocked Len Elmore just like everyone at the time.

About the Book: On October 16, 1968, during the medal ceremony at the Mexico City Olympics, Tommie Smith, the gold medal winner in the 200-meter sprint, and John Carlos, the bronze medal winner, stood on the podium in black socks and raised their black-gloved fists to protest racial injustice inflicted upon African Americans. Both men were forced to leave the Olympics, received death threats, and faced ostracism and continuing economic hardships. In his first-ever memoir for young readers, Tommie Smith looks back on his childhood growing up in rural Texas through to his stellar athletic career, culminating in his historic victory and Olympic podium protest.

"It's about the iconic 1969 Mexico City Olympic Games photograph of Tommie Smith and John Carlos on the victory stand of the 200m with their fists raised, black socks and no shoes with their heads bowed during the national anthem. It's the story behind that photograph and it's an amazing story. I'm about as serious of a track fan as you can be. I think I knew about 10% of that story before we started working on it. We walk you through the fact that everyone is from San Jose State – which is so strange. San Jose State is the greatest track and field program in the world in the 1960s." Chris Chavez and Kyle Merber sit down with New York Times best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell to discuss his first trip to Eugene, Oregon for the World Championships and his latest podcast project "Legacy of Speed", which aims to tell the story of John Carlos and Tommie Smith's iconic protest at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City.
