He Made History With the Black Power Salute Now John Carlos Comes to Ghana!
In 1968, John Carlos and Tommie Smith made history at the Mexico City Olympics when they raised their fists in the iconic Black Power salute. It became a moment that was a powerful symbol of resistance and solidarity in sports history.

Now, decades later, Dr. John Carlos visits Ghana for the first time, reconnecting with the spirit of Africa and the roots of the global Black liberation movement.

In this video, I chat with him about his career, how his protest in Mexico affected him and what advice he has for the next generation.
