Standing on the podium after receiving his bronze medal for the 200 meters race, Carlos defiantly raises his fist in a powerful black power salute. This photograph encapsulates a pivotal moment in sports history and serves as a reminder of the social and political tensions that permeated the world during that time. Carlos' gesture was seen as a bold statement against racial inequality and discrimination faced by Black Americans both within and outside of sports.

The black-and-white aesthetic adds depth to the image, emphasizing its timeless significance. Decades later, this photograph continues to resonate with people around the globe.
