I wonder how different this story would be if it were a statue commemorating a white power salute. Racism is racism, folks.

You make a very good point. These athletes acted shamefully that day.


IIRC another American athlete, who happened to be black, brought a small American flag to the podium when he (or was it she) won the gold medal in those same Olympics.

THAT moment is worth recreating in bronze!
