When it comes to Olympic protest and Black Power, Tommie Smith and John Carlos are the first two that come to mind. The 1968 Summer Olympic Games in Mexico City were a key moment in Black athlete protest, as illustrated in the great number of articles and books that focus on this event. However, little known Wayne Collett and Vincent Matthews embraced the spirit of Black power protest from the '68 Olympic Games and displayed their own demonstration at the 1972 Summer Olympic Games in Munich.
