Bonjour,
This famous picture WAS TAKEN in 1968 during the Olympic Games in
Mexico. There are three men on the podium: Tommie Smith, Peter Norman
and John Carlos.
These athletes took a stand TO PROTEST AGAINST the ONGOING civil
rights injustices in the U.S.A.
The CLENCHED FIST is a reference to the Black Power Movement.
They WORE black socks TO DENOUNCE black poverty.
The black SCARF represented VICTIMS OF LYNCHING.
Tommie Smith and John Carlos HAD TO FACE terrible consequences: the
crowd started JEERING, they were BLACKLISTED from the sport.
Then, they were TRACKED by the FBI and even received DEATH THREATS.
Explications :
jeering = mocking with insulting remarks
