Be You : Tommie Smith and John Carlos


I just wanted to take a moment to reflect on the 1972 Olympics, in which Gold Medalist Tommie Smith and medalist John Carlos saluted black power during the medal ceremony. The two wore the black glove, making it official and the day goes down in global history as a super day in sports and a milestone and great source of pride for African Americans. Moral of the story: Be a winner. Be you.
