Answer 1

Answer:

During their medal ceremony in the Olympic Stadium in Mexico City on October 16, 1968, two African-American athletes, Tommie Smith and John Carlos, each raised a black-gloved fist during the playing of the US national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner". While on the podium, Smith and Carlos, who had won gold and bronze medals respectively in the 200-meter running event of the 1968 Summer Olympics, turned to face the US flag and then kept their hands raised until the anthem had finished. In addition, Smith, Carlos, and Australian silver medalist Peter Norman all wore human-rights badges on their jackets.

Answer 2

The diversity is Overlapping.

• Overlapping represent a condition where social differences are exacerbated by causes like poverty, homelessness, or injustice, resulting in the social divides and tensions.
• John and Tommie were athletes of African-American race who had secured gold and bronze awards in their events.
• To typically signify black poverty, they received their prestigious awards while wearing black socks and no shoes. They attempted to attract global regard to racial prejudice in the US with this gesture.
• During the ceremony, Norman, a white athlete, donned the people's rights emblem on his chest to express his support for those two athletes.
