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. Here is the remarkable story of
one of the men behind the salute, lifelong activist, John Carlos. </font><font style="font-size:12pt;" size="3"><br></font><br><div align="center"><font style="font-size:12pt;" face="Garamond" size="3"> Olympian and Civil Rights icon John Carlos is coming <a rel="nofollow">this Friday 10/14</a> to
Occupy Boston! He will discuss the thread that connects the protest
movements of 1968 to the movements for Justice today - from the Occupy

anger sparked by the execution of Troy Davis. </font><font style="font-size:12pt;" face="Garamond" size="3"><span class="yiv1315093797ecxtext_exposed_show">Q&A and discussion to follow. Invite your friends!</span></font><br><br><font style="font-size:12pt;" face="Garamond" size="3"><b>“With

Carlos is an African American former track and field athlete and
professional football player, and a founding member of the Olympic
Project for Human Rights. He won the bronze-medal in the 200 meters race
at the 1968 Summer Olympics, where his Black Power salute on the podium
with Tommie Smith caused much political controversy. He went on to
equal the world record in the 100 yard dash and beat the 200 meters
world record. After his track career, he enjoyed brief stints in the
National Football League and Canadian Football League but retired due to
injury. He became involved with the United States Olympic Committee and
helped to organize the 1984 Summer Olympics. He later became a track
coach at a high school in Palm Springs, where he now resides. He was
inducted into the USA Track & Field Hall of Fame in 2003. <br><br>One
of America's most provocative public intellectuals, Cornel West has
been a champion for racial justice since childhood. His writing,
speaking, and teaching weave together the traditions of the black
Baptist Church, progressive politics, and jazz. The New York Times has
praised his "ferocious moral vision." His many books include<i> Race Matters</i>,<i>Democracy Matters</i>, and his new autobiography, <i>Brother West: Living and Loving Out Loud</i>.</font><br><br><font style="font-size:12pt;" face="Garamond" size="3">John Carlos will be in Boston as part of a nationwide tour to promote his new book<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.haymarketbooks.org/tour/The-John-Carlos-Story">"The John Carlos Story"</a>. </font><br><br><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=207589899311182"><font style="font-size:12pt;" face="Garamond" size="3">Facebook Event Page</font></a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div></div></div></div></div></div></span><div><br></div></div></body></html>
