Episode 3: Exit, Voice or Loyalty

  • Summary

  • Tommie Smith. Lee Evans. John Carlos. Hear how these three legendary sprinters all ended up at San Jose State.

The tragedy and chaos in America leading up to the Games made the decision to take a stand seem essential. But not all athletes wanted to miss their shot to compete.
