Hello everyone, today I will talk about my favorite picture. There are many pictures that I like but today I will talk about the photo called "Black Power Salute".
This picture was taken by John Dominis during the Olympic Games of Mexico in 1968.
This photograph was taken during the athletics awards, in the first place is Tommie Smith, in second Peter Norman and in third place John Carlos.
In this time in the United States there was a racial "war". They had killed Malcom X and also Martin Luther King. There was a lot of racism towards African-Americans, a lot of poverty and violence.
It is one of my favorite photographs because Tommie, Peter and John were very brave in protesting against these injustices. And I think the image is historical.
