Seen around the world, John Carlos and Tommie Smith's Black Power
salute on the 1968 Olympic podium sparked controversy and career
fallout. Yet their show of defiance remains one of the most iconic
images of Olympic history and the Black power movement. Now John
Carlos tells his own version of the story, in conjunction with Dave
Zirin, author of the groundbreaking People's History of Sports in
the United States (The New Press, 2009, available from Turnaround).
Carlos' eye-opening and immensely readable autobiography finally
introduces the man behind the salute.
