An Unfolded 2002 Special Poster (measures 19 3/4" x 27 1/2" [50 x 70 cm]) (Learn More) The 1968 Summer Olympics (officially known as the Games of the XIX Olympiad) was an international multi-sport event held in Mexico City, Mexico, from October 12th to the 27th. These were the first Olympic Games to be staged in Latin America and the first to be staged in a Spanish-speaking country. This year during the medal award ceremony for the men's 200 meter race, black American athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos took a stand for civil rights by raising their black-gloved fists and wearing black socks in lieu of shoes. The Australian Peter Norman, who had run second, wore an American "civil rights" badge as support to them on the podium. In response, the IOC banned Smith and Carlos from the Olympic Games for life, and Norman's omission from Australia's Olympic team in 1972 was allegedly as punishment. Artist: Pedro Ramirez Vazquez & Eduardo Terrazas & Lance Wyman Important Added Info: Note that this poster is a 2002 reprint of the 1968 (it has printing on the back indicating so). Please do not bid thinking that this is the 1968 poster. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
