"As is so often the case in these kinds of histories, everyone has their own version of what happens. But they did bring black socks and black gloves with them to Mexico. And little but didn't Tommy have to tell his wife, after he had already arrived there and she was coming later, like, I'll bring the clearly thinking about what kind of symbolic statement makes the most sense. And by the end, they're wearing a scarf for the scarf. The socks symbolize the kind of working man, the beads. They're jackets are open because I didn't know any of this. You know the glove, but you don't know any of the other stuff. Yeah, there's like 5 or 6 different things. They're doing those all have a very specific symbolic purpose. It's just kind of weirdly complex coded act that is, again, yeah, all I knew, I just thought it was a black loving ear. Right. The amazing story. The guy who wins the silver in the 200 is this ginormous Peter Norman, who's an Australian white guy. And they're backstage and they're all talking about Smith and Carlos, who win the golden under bronze or talking about what they want to do. And Norman says, oh, can I be a part of this? And of course, the other guys are like, wait, you're like a white guy from Australia. And Norman says, well, actually, you know, my family is deeply involved with the Salvation army. They've been sort of, we've been social justice pioneers. My whole life, your cause is something I believe in. And so they go and they find them a little, they're all wearing these pins. Some symbolize their cause. Norman borrows a pin and puts it on so he's also in his, he's not raising a fist, but he's also participating. And the effect of him wearing a pin is that he is banned from the Australian Olympic team. He does not get to go in 1972. They don't even invite him, even though to this day he is the Australian record holder in the 200 meters. They don't even invite him to the Sydney games. He's just banished from the sport because he chose to participate in this. He really never recovers. And he ends up dying, right? Like he died several years ago. And I think Tommy and John went and were his pallbearers. It's a lovely well, we look at this courageous act in an era in which courage is hard to come by. I don't know that we could ever really imagine just how courageous it was for them to do that at that moment. And we think, you know, what an amazing symbolic act on behalf of civil rights. And we tend to overlook or we don't understand the fallout from that. I mean, we have brundage who basically gets rid of these guys immediately. And then these guys go on to have a really hard time for a very long time. It's only in many decades later that we can kind of appreciate them and erect statues and kind of celebrate them. But their lives were decimated as a result of this in many ways. The kind of the way the popular press reacted to that in the moment to that protest was, in retrospect, vicious. I mean, people thought they were outlaws that they had Avery brundage referred to what Carlos and Tommie Smith did on that podium as a violent act, he would in fact in 1972 when there was an actual violent act when the Israeli team was slaughtered by terrorists, brundage famously talked about twin refers to those in the same breath, those two acts, an actual terrorist attack, and two young men holding up their fists on the victory stand as assault, violent assaults on the Olympic dream. And then they come home and sports writers turn on them the public turns on them, what's weird,

"So thank you for doing it. I really enjoyed it. But explain what it is that this is all about. So this is a podcast that we did in collaboration with tracksmith and I'm wearing my trucks. Short as we talk. And puma. And it's the story of that photograph, which everyone knows. Of the three sprinters on the 200 meter metal podium at the Mexico city Olympics, 1968. Tommie Smith and John Carlos have their head bowed, they're wearing black socks. They have a black glove on one hand and they have their fists in here, right? It's this iconic and so we did a whole podcast series on that photograph. How did it come to pass? What's behind it? What does it mean? And it turns out to be, first of all, virtually everything I learned in doing this podcast, I did not know. And I am a massive track and field fan. Starting with the fact that everyone involved with that iconic 76, 68 protests, is from the same place. Lee Evans, who also staged a protest when he won the 400 meters at the games. John Carlos and Tommy Smith are all from the same school, the same track team San Jose state. They're all coached by the same guy, but winter. And bud winter turns out to be, I think he's one of the most important coaches of the 20th century. He puts John Wooden to shame. He really doesn't just reinvent sprinting. Although every sprinter today, every elite printer today is really sprinting in the way that bud winter instructed sprinters to sprint. He's the person who brings techniques of relaxation. Really sort of meditative techniques. Things that he learned as a fighter pilot. Someone who studied. There was in the Second World War there was this kind of crisis with fighter pilots having breakdowns. And being unable to perform. Obviously, because there was a whole movement to try to understand how to prepare them properly. For this incredibly arduous task. And on what came out of that was this idea that we needed to teach these fighter pilots how to relax that out of relaxation, this sort of paradox at the best way to achieve peak performance was to relax, which is commonplace now, heresy in the 1940s. But winter is part of this movement, and he says, wait a minute, this surely applies to running that the notion about maximum exertion those days have been sprinting was that that required the visible application of effort. You grimaced you tense your muscles, you like, you've propelled yourself down the track. And winter was like, no, no, no, no. You float down the track. Your body must be relaxed. Your upper body must be, it must look like you're having tea with friends. You must, you know, that notion is that wonderful thing that must win a runner runs. It must look like that if you just jostled them from the side, they would fall over. That's how relaxed they have to be. That's all bud winter. And he produces at this one commuter school in Northern California in San Jose, there's a stretch of time when he's the coach there. We're like basically every world record is set by one of his runners. His runners at this nothing know nothing school back then. Dominate. International spreading for a stretch of 15 years culminating in the 68 games where two of his guys break world records. And at the same time, though, it's another guy in his track team called Harry Edwards, then as now, one of the most important figures in sort of understanding, he's the guy who leads all of the who advanced the sociology of sport, who leads all of these kind of protest movements around sport. He comes and he joins with these athletes and he convinces them they should use their sprinting prowess as a kind of platform for social

"One individual in jesse owens who obviously should be there who's remarkably skilled but he himself initially conflicted about whether he should be there or not which again really represents that moment even though also america clearly as proud of him he gets a parade in new york city when he returns he is sending a message that americans would love to send about the skill and the talent that exists in the united states. However i have to also reflect the reality factor again not only just in who's represented and how they perform at the olympics and what that suggests about the united states but the legacy of the olympics basically owens does not have a legacy he celebrated in the moment and has big parade and he's famous and he very rapidly loses his prominence has problems basically keeping himself going earning living and later he ends up being hired to race cars and trucks and dogs basically to show off his speed but again as we talked about before in sense being exhibited and he himself said those races made me sick. I felt like a free so he on the one hand is celebrated and so representative and then on the other hand is cast aside as a black man in america and so in some ways is representative so in stands for a different kind of america than tommie smith and john carlos are going to represent in nineteen sixty eight when they very famously stand on the podium at the olympics after winning the gold and the bronze and the two hundred beater with the star spangled banner playing and raise their fists covered with black gloves to protest conditions of black americans and black people in the world in the current setting of the nineteen sixties. So the story behind that comes out of the growing awareness of americans in general but especially black americans of the discriminatory conditions in america in the world in the nineteen sixties and in nineteen sixty seven of sprinters. Who had been part of this incredible team at san jose state university began to talk about boycotting the nineteen sixty-eight olympics because of the discriminatory policies of the olympics and the conditions of of black people at the time and they team up in sixty..

The united states will take a knee before kick-off australians matilda's gathered around the circle in solidarity for decades olympic athletes and black american athletes in particular have used the bright lights of the games to draw attention to social and racial issues. Even though the rules in the olympic charter prohibited any kind of political expression. John carlos and tommie smith negro runners who won medals in the two hundred meter race today were ordered by the united states olympic committee to leave mexico earlier. They were suspended for raising black gloved fists. While star spangled banner was being played at an awards ceremony. The iconic image of sprinters giancarlos thomas myth shoeless with their black gloved fists raised high on the winner's podium. During the nineteen sixty eight olympic games in mexico city has become an enduring symbol of the emergence of the black athlete. I don't like being discriminated against discriminated against me all black people same as me. I still stamp blackness. i still stands for me People think i'm anti american. I'm not anti american amanda racism. The image is remembered as a catalyst for power pride and protest. Their names are etched in history as much for their stance at their prowess on the track but they weren't the only ones kicking button challenging racism and white supremacy back in one thousand nine hundred eight.

"Thank you for having me on the honor to be on this morning and we share similar sentiments role model and a mentor for me. I'm honored to be serving in a chair named after him. I'm so glad. Thank you very much for joining us. So let's talk about the olympics and many of us still remember that back in sixty eight. There were two star. After american track stars. Tommie smith and john carlos raise a gloved hands in protest during the medal ceremonies olympics and they paid a huge price huge price sent home and ostracized for many many years. Now we're facing this this question about protesting in the two thousand twenty one olympic. So what do you think should happen at the olympics in terms of any kind of protest by by african american american athletes. That's a great question In epo think back to nineteen sixty eight olympics. Many people forget lew alcindor now known as kareem abdul-jabbar he actually chose not to attend the olympics. As an act of protests. Wild mia titus. She wore black shorts. Over solid era civil rights movement so there were a number of protests Beyond tommie smith. And john carlos that olympics of but t to the point that you raise the consequences for certain types of activism are not equal and there is a risk that you run when you're challenging the status quo but what i will say is this. I personally think that all sports is every aspect of our society is political in. So if we're going to Play a national anthem People should also be able to peacefully protest and express discontent with whatever may be going on within that nation state. You know internationally. There are a number of human rights violations a number of injustices that are taking place on within various countries. And i think athletes as well as any citizen of a particular country should have the right to peacefully challenge those injustices and draw attention to those invested. So if it was up to me. I think the ioc should allow Peaceful protests to take place..

"As part of the opening for that day of competition was being played yeah. It was not being played for the medal ceremony for the women's hammer throw although he felt it was being played deliberately in an way to to almost beat her into doing something. But that that that's debatable. It's debatable for sure and i think you know. The timing was a little suspicious because the apparently the days before they had been doing it at a certain time in for some reason it was delayed until this moment so it seems a little suspicious. So really i think activism comes in so many different forms and protesting on a podium or like mark said beforehand which i think is very noble is a part of it as long as we can continue that snowball effect hopefully to get real sustained change happening within government systems within our communities and we have to realize that this is just a symbol of movements. That are happening all around us. There's a lot of work that is being put in behind the scenes with many different amazing organizations and yes athletes have a voice and this is one way we can bring attention but we also yeah we could do something greater where we we decided to come together and completely protests going to games i know tommie smith and john carlos they talked about that but then decided they wanted to use their performance as a way to speak to. It's just like like when he said she would play her heart outs when so you can show. Because here's here's the end of it. We equate winning with goodness. So however you want to see that we automatically do and if we can use winning and they equating it with goodness for actual good. There's nothing that like. I feel like great things can come from that you know. of course. there's a lot of people out there who may Subscribe to the school of thought that says shut up and dribble as was told to lebron james famously. When do you feel that. Perhaps athletes feel the pressure to do something when they don't really feel that they should be speaking out or they don't feel that it is their job to speak out. It does that put added pressure on the shoulders of some athletes. Well i think that that you know. I in particular when you have team sports you have to navigate like the team environment and like as being a an indigenous athlete on with a whole bunch of non native teammates. Even remember the attention. I got and in talking about ochre. And how the attention it ca- it can cause division issues on teams But you know and that would. That was a big concern from you know. It was always something. I was worried about right But you know what. I think that you know if you have a good team environment and you know you you do foster that i think it. It is something that a lot of teams will support But i wouldn't ever. I wouldn't expect my teammates to do it if they didn't feel comfortable. This is something that you have to believe in and like like angela mark said there are consequences and this is a real thing like when i hear of saying..

"But not tested bunch of nonsense. That's different. Okay, well, first off, it's not nonsense. And a lot of people are convinced that racism is a problem in this country that we have yet to address, and that's what they're protesting. But let's flip it. Let's flip it. What if an athlete happened to be a trump or Trump is somebody who supported Trump and he wanted to wear a stop the steal. T shirt before the match. Wouldn't you be okay with that? That's a lie as well. And if you want to stand there, why do you think I'm asking you that right top right because there are facts, and the fact is he didn't lose Michigan. He didn't lose. And the fact is that white officers are not indiscriminately going out and killing black men talk, but that The issue behind Black lives matter is a much broader issue of that, and that isn't really what is it? What is it? But it's systemic racism in this country, which is kind of which is an ongoing problem. What is systemic racism? Give you one fact? One Fact fact not. It's not a fact it's an It's an idea in a concept That's all you want. One a a number. You can talk about the individuals that have died at the hands of cops he wants. But that doesn't address the actual issue. Systemic racism is an individual's might not be themselves racist, but they're in a system which makes it harder which were black people or minorities were doing well. I've always decide redlining is a reason why we do not have generational wealth for black people because they were not allowed to do it. Redlining was a system The entire justice system is also what system now. Well right now we have discrimination and renting, and that's why we've actually had to pass laws that say you cannot do what a lot of landlords have done and they can demonstrate it by saying Yes, they would They tell a black renter. Oh, no, We have no things available and we have and white rentals. They say they do these kinds of things. They picked it. Yes. No, no. No. Well, they have. They're trying to address it through legislation. And that's this. This year is the first year it's going into effect. So these are the kinds of ever present issues. But we're getting off the topic because I take a conservative. What's a position that you believe in? Let's say a guy wants to wear. I love Milton Friedman T shirts at the Olympics. You would be okay with this. According to the psychos. I mean, the IOC would say it. We'd allow you to wear that T shirt before your long, John. Protesting when you when you are Not all of the non personal expression, John. You're not it from Tom. If they're not, they're protesting something They're saying this country. I can't look at the flag because the flag is a horrible Is it because the flag represents a horrible country. I mean, that's what they're protesting, but they're not. Yeah, but see you like to put words in exaggerated words in their mouth. And if you listen to her again, I haven't read any manifesto that she's written. But what she said. When this issue first came to be is that there are a lot of problems in this country and she needs things that they need to be addressed. They haven't been addressed since the 1968. Olympic protest of Tommie Smith and John Was that John Lewis? Somebody, uh, like that? So so, Yeah. So the issue here is whether we should allow for expression by athletes or not. It needn't be protest. The question is, is it allowed and now it's half allowed, and a lot of people are going to say that's half a loaf, and it's not enough and they may go all the way and wait till the you know they get on the stand. And they may do a protester. They are lucky to win. Um, everything just shut up and run. Just shut up and jumped. Just shut up. And wow, Laura Ingraham, that's who you sound like, Shut up and dribble. Well, they have more on their minds than just dribbling. Yeah. Yeah, They got a lot. A lot of deep thoughts. Okay?

So it's not the same however you know. He tested positive month after the olympics and his medals were stripped and like you know he was on a probationary period. So i just wanna like you know. Just put that out there. Because i do see a lot of people saying that and i'm like is not the only thing you know and duly noted also at the same time it's like like i said i understand because look she clearly knew the rules right like right it clearly. We're gonna they were gonna test. You and marijuana is one of the things on the list that you're going to get tested for so obviously you made the choice to like no one. I know we're not arguing that point you were wrong. We're not wrong point. But the fact that she admitted it and the fact that she did ineffective is just frigging marijuana. Okay clearly needs to speed up with the times and we my and my thing is and again the dismay i feel like if it's not a performance enhancer. It's not a muslim producer. I feel like the role should be like you. Are you thirty days. You're going to get another test and if you get another test you're out like you know like something like more formal obey and all them people that keep saying out. Why allowed arosh they say how. 'bout how 'bout show job take a drug screen you and let's talk about that then. Okay so stop throwing rocks when you live in a shattered glass house now.

Okay you better come on nike. And so i appreciate that now. I do also want to just get some people together in the sense of like yes. I really do feel like well first of all. Okay well okay.

Suspension that ends july twenty seven which would be an time to run in the women's relay guy so i did. Everybody read the whole article. So i mean i don't. I don't bet. I've i've read that.

Okay this also stems back in nineteen sixty eight to black athletes. Tommie smith and john carlos were expelled from the olympic village after they raised their gloved fists and a symbol of protests while standing in The podium after taking third and first place in the two hundred meter okay. So i mean i so okay. So now we can't black lives matter on a world stage. You know what better time or opportunity to you know. Show unity is show.

Does President Biden thing that is appropriate behavior for someone who opposed to represent Team USA. Well, Peter, I haven't spoken to the president specifically about this, but I know he's incredibly proud. To be an American has great respect for the anthem and all that it represents, especially for our men and women serving in uniform all around the world. He would also say, of course, that part of that pride in our country means recognizing there are moments where we are, as a country haven't lived up to our highest ideals and it means respecting the right of people granted to them in the Constitution to peacefully protest. Okay. Um, yeah, you can peacefully protest, but the well, here's my last sound would go on it here is that Dan Crenshaw representatives. We don't need any more activist athletes. You know she should be removed from the team. The entire point of the Olympic team is to represent the United States of America. That's the entire point. Okay, So you know, it's just one thing When these NBA players do it, okay, fine. We'll just stop watching. But now the Olympic team and its multiple cases of this, they should be removed.

She wants to protest. He wants to go there. So she can talk about all the lives have been lost because the systemic racism, so it's a cause bigger than herself, Tom and she's gonna go represent the United States and speak to systemic racism.

They were 1st and 2nd in their, uh, you know, Competition, and they stood and held up their fists as the national anthem was playing. I think that's fine. They're Americans. I was proud of that moment for them for doing what they did, because it is an issue that is on their minds, and I think that's fine. America's 1968. 1960 19, Mexico and they were then they were expand. I think they were banned from competing. I don't know if they ever computed again. And I think in the intervening 50 years People have reconsidered what they did. And now see it as kind of noble sort of like the Colin Kaepernick thing. Now I know people hate Tommy Smith for doing what he did. And I know people hate Con Kaepernick. We're doing what he did. I think that when this, uh hammer thrower did is sort of In line with that now. So I guess I don't have a problem. I think we're big enough country that we can allow for that now it's true. I I think that the the causes she is fighting for is something that you know is worth fighting for, and I could under for it. Yeah, I disagree with her politically would be probably a a tougher pill to swallow What country she representing. Don't ask questions. You already know the answers. He's representing America. So do you not like America. No, no, no. If you like America, you have volunteered to do this. You know what's forcing you to do? This is a choice. I'm going to throw the hammer and I'm going to represent America and they're going to play the national anthem. But I'm going to use my chance. Once I've represented the country to stand on that podium and to make a statement as an individual, not as a somebody representing America. I'm representing myself and my points of view and my my view of the world, right? But she doesn't represent America. She represents herself. No, she no. She's chose presents protesting America. There are a lot of people in America that agree with her sense not but when she did it when the in 2019 The Olympic Committee put her on probation for 12 months because they don't want you to do that. And even when you went through it, John Tom Tom defect straight They withdrew. It apologizes that it was a mistake. Hold on. They put her on a 12 month probation and it took it back, right And the other guy that now because wrong what they say clearly You're not allowed to get up there and to be doing some sort of political thing. Your stand there as the athlete that says that in the IOC, But if you want a cable on it because you're afraid someone's going to take your part in the Twitter world, why doesn't she compete as an independent athletes? So you can sign up and go as an independent athletes in another country. It's less it has less impact. If you're representing America and want to make a comment about America as you're being the best of America, that's that's most effective. What do you think about pro? Tommy? She's protesting a song from 200 some years ago, right for and not recognizing This is the craziest thing about all this black lives matter crap. You do not recognize the progress that's been made and you want to act like it is 400 years ago, and you need to act like it's 400 years ago, so you can be a victim and you can believe that they they set you up. Yeah. They said they were waiting for you to get on there. And then they they got you. They fixed you. They showed you. I mean, Oh, my God. This first got a victim mentality. You're representing the greatest country in the world. Find another country that you believe is greater than this country. This is the greatest country because you can do these kind of protests and be heralded for it and condemned for it At the same time. That's what makes America great. And for Dan Crenshaw, I know he's a veteran, and he's this You know, I've been tired in his opinion there. That's the great thing about this country Activists athlete. We've had enough of activist athletes. That sounds a lot like you know that.

"While standing on the podium at the 2019 Pan American Games in Peru, very raised her fist in the air, a symbol of black power and a move reminiscent of John Carlos and Tommie Smith's protest at the 1968 Games in Mexico City. Berry says she knew the gesture went against Olympic rules, but the cause overrode fears of retaliation. I just wanted to show like unity and by farmer to show people that we are still here. We need to talk, speaking out so that we don't have to go through these struggles all the time, especially along various fist was raised for just about 10 seconds, but she was put on the 12 month probation by the IOC. And she says the financial hits came almost immediately. Berry claims she lost grants due to the protest, though funders deny the connection. But since her probation ended, Berry has only increased her activism, she says. If she makes the U S team this summer, she'll find a way to make her voice heard. I will make it loud and clear that I don't agree with the IOC and what they do, and I don't agree with a lot of things of this world. But I don't know exactly what I would do on the podium. Athletes have yet to hear precisely what the consequences for podium protests and other demonstrations will be. Kirsty Coventry of the IOC's athlete Commission says Defining those sanctions is not her job. It's up to the legal commission now to give the athlete commission guidance. I'm not a lawyer, so that's a little bit out of my room. This handoff of responsibilities surprised Brendan Schwab. He's the executive director of the World Players Association. Ah, union representing 85,000 athletes in over 60 countries. So the Athletes commission just to have such DC interesting what the sanctions would bathe is truly remarkable. We would never as a player association movement agreed of a disciplinary provisioned without making sure that any sanction is proportionate. And I just think that shows the hands off approach that the IOC athletes Commission Has taken shrub also has concerns with the IOC's global survey itself, calling it a fatally flawed process. It asked athletes questions such as whether they intended to protest and given that some of these athletes participating in the survey coming from repressive regimes be a China Iran Turkey and others. Then we felt that clearly, the survey response was always going to only result in one answer. Athlete. Commission chair Kirsty Coventry is now of retired Olympian but says she would have voted to ban protests during her time as an athlete being an Olympian. The podium in field of play and ceremonies were very specific and hold very specific memories in my heart, So if I think about when I was competing, I wouldn't want Something to distract and take away from that. That's how I still feel today. Brendan Schwab says. That's a fair view. But it's not a view that can triumph over the rights of other athletes. He views podium protests as a heroic and selfless act. I think it's enormously courageous and principled when an athlete cheeses to commit That one mind that they have, which is all about them and their athletic achievement to a cause, which transcends themselves on which is much greater than them. Neither swab nor Olympian Gwen Berry think the IOC's ban will deter athletes from pro testing in Tokyo. Schwab says if and when they do, the World Players Association will provide any athlete with legal support to fight the sanctions for the world. I'm being failure. U. S.

Ali cassius clay and It was an interesting moment in history because nine hundred and sixty early stage of the civil rights movement There are a lot of protests in the south at department stores. That wouldn't serve. African americans and boycotts have lunch counters around a race riot in jacksonville florida. Even ask these olympics. Were going on here. You had black africa getting its independent that summer and you had the united states in its foreign policy proclaiming itself the beacon of liberty around the world which in many ways it was but in one really important way. It wasn't even close so the soviets could keep pounding away at that. How can you say you're in a represent freedom when millions of your own people including your best athletes are treated as second class citizens invest parts of your own country. there's no defensible answer to that and the only defense was to present these athletes in their. You know as the best face of the united states. So you had rafer johnson in this really Interesting paradoxical situation. He deserved to be the captain. He certainly deserved to carry the flag at the opening ceremony. And yet he knew that to some degree. The establishment was using him as the face of america at a time when in in his own country places he could go where he wasn't free one of the things incorrectly. If you think. I'm wrong about this. David is that that period of time between nineteen sixty and nineteen sixty eight in mexico city when you had john carlos and tommie smith with the raised fist and and rebellious presentation to some degree it back in nineteen sixty. I think those athletes were better focus. Meaning the minority athletes on the performance of going out and doing what they knew they were capable of doing whereas those athletes in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight use their success in athletics as a foundation for being able to get a message across. No that's very true. And but you know as a different time. Those eight years enormous transformation in america. And so. I don't know if i mean rafer johnson and a certain type of personality where he honestly always believed that the way he could advance civil rights the most was by a performing to the best of his ability and then carrying himself with dignity and character which he had that was his sensibility But nineteen sixty eight was a completely different time When when there was much more pressure on the athletes and and they felt more opportunities to make political statements than nineteen sixty. I'm so but you know you have luma rudolph in nineteen sixty being the start of the olympics Coming from clarksville tennessee a segregated town and after she went all those gold medals they wanted to honor her with a bay. Quit at age twenty. She had the guts to say. No not unless you integrate that armory banquet which they did because they had to let me tell you about Rafer johnson or a great story. I had jimmy johnson I've known jimmy for a long time and rafer was on with me. And i asked him about growing up. I said to the one thing i know about you and jimmy is that neither one of you ever been angry about the time that you grew up in and he said well you know we were born in texas and we moved to the valley in california and he said we moved to this little swedish town and he said i said well. Did you ever run into any prejudice or any problems. He said no he said everybody treated us fine. Nice about why do you think that is because it was not a real socially sensitive time. He said well he said people really didn't think anything about it because it was a swedish town on. Her name was johnson outer sweet. That's absolutely true. And it's close to the. I mean he you know he still goes back for his high school reunions every year. He's very close to to. You know he was. They were the only black family in town. He's very close to his high school classmates. He did tell me they had problems. One guy and that was the police chief of of kings berg who was a racist and whenever anything would go wrong he would go over to the johnson family and accused them of stealing a bike or something which was absolutely not true but but that After a couple of incidents array for his father who has a kind of difficult guy had a drinking problem but he stood up to the police. Chief in the guy never came back. But that was it. And and you're right everything else and he He said he had an idyllic childhood in that.

There and how he was treated always very strongly Motivated not to be manipulated or used in any way had a strong sense of dignity as did rafer johnson but exhibited in a slightly more outspoken way and yet In rome in one thousand nine sixty He was part of.
