BookTV: John Carlos & Dave Zirin, "The John Carlos Story"

John Carlos, winner of the bronze medal in the 200 meters in the 1968 Olympics, recalls him and his teammate, Tommie Smith's raised fist salute to represent Black Power on the medal podium in Mexico City. Mr. Carlos recounts his symbolic gesture at the Olympics, the subsequent fall-out, and his continued political activism. John Carlos and his co-author, Dave Zirin, speak at the Northwest African American Museum in Seattle.
