What happened at the 1969 Olympics with Tommy Jones?

There were no Olympics in 1969, as the Summer Olympics are held every four years, and the closest events were in 1968 (Mexico City) and 1972 (Munich). However, if you meant the notable event involving Tommie Smith and John Carlos at the 1968 Olympics, they famously raised their fists in a Black Power salute during the medal ceremony for the 200 meters to protest racial inequality in the United States. This act became a powerful symbol of the Civil Rights Movement.
