"African-American track stars protest racism in the U>S> by giving 'Black Power' salute during national anthem at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City."
Yep...I was in the Nam, but I saw pictures.
We had 4 blacks in my entire platoon, I didn't see any protests.
I was in the Philly Naval Hospital.....it caused quite a ruckus. When you have a whole ward of Marine Combat Veterans.....who gave their arms, legs, and guts while serving America......it ain't pretty, when they see black Africans disrespect our Country.
