Olympic Sprinter John Carlos and His Wife
John Carlos (L) and Tommie Smith, American Black sprint stars who were ordered by the U.S. Olympic Committee to leave the Olympic Village under suspension after they staged a "black power" demonstration during Olympic award ceremonies, leave the Village together. There was speculation the ouster of Smith and Carlos might set off a mass walkout by other Blacks on the American team. (Photo by Bettmann Archive/Getty Images)
