 ">Presented by Dr. Gary Gershman</p>\n<p>Each week\, the library will feat
 ure a video or radio interview (30 to 60 minutes in length) highlighting a
  specific African American athlete or athletes who played a pivotal role i
 n breaking barriers and challenging societal norms in the United States. T
 he program will examine the broader historical context through the lens of
  sports and will connect key moments in history with iconic athletes and e
 vents.</p>\n<p>Using the documentary The Stand\, this session delves into 
 the circumstances that led runners Tommie Smith and John Carlos to make th
 eir iconic gesture of defiance at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City\
 , during a pivotal and volatile period for the civil rights movement. The 
 1968 Olympics were marked by numerous politically charged events and contr
 oversial actions. Amid a strong push by Black athletes to boycott the game
 s&mdash\;some of whom did&mdash\;the enduring image of that event remains 
 Smith and Carlos raising their fists in black gloves during the medal cere
 mony. This powerful moment underscored the intersection of sports and poli
 tics\, highlighting the profound influence sports can have on society and 
 culture\, while reigniting the ongoing debate over the role of politics in
  sports and the rights of athletes to protest.</p>\nhttps://broward.libnet
