8:24Now PlayingThere was an iconic moment during the medal ceremony at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City.
John Carlos and Tommie Smith raised their fists during the national anthem to protest racial inequality, and they were some of the first to ever protest during the event. Carlos, the Hall of Famer, Olympian and activist, takes Center Stage on "Start Your Day" with guest hosts Shannon LaNier and Bofta Yimam to discuss the International Olympic Committee's stance on protests, his career after protesting and the work of current athletes. Carlos says if today’s athletes are concerned about humanity, they should be able to express themselves.
