the "Black Power" salute.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Olympics_Black_Power_salute

Talk about people "being upset!" It was the "Kaepernick Takes a Knee" of the time - perhaps even worse (but then again we didn't have a racist President at that time) and the Vietnam war protests were going crazy. Interesting time - just like now....

Thank you! As a newbie here how does one post a photo. When I post stuff on my FB page it goes directly to a folder and uploads but that seems to not be how DU works.

FB is much different for posting photos than we are here.

There is a link that will show you how, and I will post it here in a moment.

Hang on!

I'm too lazy to make a sign, but if I did, it would probably say something like this:

Put a mask on you stupid motherfuckers!"

Not the kindest words - thanks for being you, Peggy. You help balance out people like me.

Love your sign and the t-shirt that was talked about on this thread. I still like the bumper sticker that says "Vote for a clown, expect a circus." I know, I know. That one's kind of old.
