Tommie Smith is on the right and John Carlos is on the left.  

They planned to do this during the playing of the National Anthem at the Olympic Games to protest Black Power.  

They wore black gloves on the hand they saluted with, black scarves to represent black pride, black socks to show poverty in black communities, and beads representing lynchings.  

Smith and Carlos were expelled from the Olympic Village immediately and forced to leave Mexico City.   

"They called it Black Power," said Smith much later. "I called it human power or cry for freedom." 

The media called it a "Nazi-like salute."
