AP Was There: Smith and Carlos Protest during 1968 Olympics

Why this matters here
The AP retrospective documents the 1968 podium protest and the immediate institutional response—suspension and removal from the Olympic Village. The Game We Think We Saw uses that event record before turning to later honor. The source establishes what happened then; the book asks how the same gesture becomes a different message once audiences no longer have to respond now.
