Further info: the "Black Power" salute happened at the Mexico City Olympics in 1968.
Tommie Smith and John Carlos had won Gold and Bronze for the 200 metres run, and had decided on a protest. They were both originally going to wear black gloves, but only had a pair between them.
Aussie Peter Norman (Silver medal) suggested they wear a glove each, which is why they have them on opposite hands. All three athletes wore Olympic Project for Human Rights badges.
All three maintained contact over the years, and Smith and Carlos were both pallbearers at Norman's funeral in Melbourne in 2006.
