Date Sold 5/3/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Unfolded Mexican Special Poster (measures 17 3/4" x 17 3/4" [45 x 45 cm]) (Learn More) The 1968 Summer Olympics (officially known as the Games of the XIX Olympiad) was an international multi-sport event held in Mexico City, Mexico, from October 12th to the 27th. These were the first Olympic Games to be staged in Latin America and the first to be staged in a Spanish-speaking country. This year during the medal award ceremony for the men's 200 meter race, black American athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos took a stand for civil rights by raising their black-gloved fists and wearing black socks in lieu of shoes. The Australian Peter Norman, who had run second, wore an American "civil rights" badge as support to them on the podium. In response, the IOC banned Smith and Carlos from the Olympic Games for life, and Norman's omission from Australia's Olympic team in 1972 was allegedly as punishment. Artist: David Palladini Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have only auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has tiny pairs of staple holes in the corners and some edge wear, but overall it is in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
