African Latino Society Brings John Carlos to Speak

02/05/09

In 1968, John Carlos competed in the Olympics held in Mexico and won the bronze medal in the 200-meter dash. During the victory ceremony, Carlos and Tommie Smith raised a black gloved fist in silent protest against racism and economic depression for all oppressed peoples. This moment was voted the sixth most memorable event of the century. John Carlos will share his words and insights with our community.

Date: Wednesday, February 11
Location: Emerson Suites
Time: 7:00 p.m.

This event, cosponsored by the Departments of History and Sociology, is free and open to the public.
