On the 16th October 1968 John Carlos and Tommy Smith gave their famous salute at the Mexico Olympics. 44 years later it was my privilege to organise a speaking tour across the UK for John Carlos. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about John is his politics his support for contemporary campaigns. He was a huge supporter of the occupy movement in the US and when the Greenpeace Arctic 30 were imprisoned issued a statement in support of their actions. https://youtube/watch?v=qck5arjMGBg
