1968 Olympic Black Power Salute. 

always reblog

Now we talking!

Historic.

they got their medals taken away because of this
and they dont give a shit
and lets not forget the aussie in the green
he had a pin on him in favor of equal rights
like everyone up there stood for peace
ths shit is iconic

Our struggle.

The Olympics is supposed to be a wonderful thing, but two Black athletes had their fairly won medals taken away from them because they used their podium moment to peacefully protest the segregation and genocide of their people in the nation they were representing.

Think on that.

Always reblog. Always.

This must be reblogged always!

Epic. Where is that pride and defiance today? Help us God.
