How did Tommy smith and John carlos raise their protests??

Answer 1

Answer:

=> The two US athletes received their medals shoeless, but wearing black socks, to represent black poverty. Sociologist Harry Edwards, the founder of the OPHR, had urged black athletes to boycott the games; reportedly, the actions of Smith and Carlos on October 16, 1968 .✨✨✨✨✨
