"The John Carlos Story"
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2011-10-04/john-carlos-story
It's gone down in history as one of the epic collisions of politics and sport -- the moment when American athletes Tommy Smith and John Carlos raised their fists out of protest while accepting medals at the 1968 Olympic Games. Carlos' athletic career ended some time ago, but his activism continues to this day. We talk to Carlos and sportswriter Dave Zirin, a co-author of his recent autobiography.
