EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print from the Olympic Games 1972 in Munich, Germany, we are transported back to Wednesday 23rd August 1972. The image captures John Carlos, an American sprinter who had previously caused controversy at the 1968 Mexico Games. 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 intensity of this snapshot is heightened by Monte Fresco's skillful composition, which perfectly captures Carlos' determination and resolve. 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.
