1968 Olympics Boycott: Black America & Africa United

Historic poster from the 1968 Olympic boycott movement showing raised Black Power fists connecting Black America and Africa with the text "BLACK AMERICA & AFRICA UNITED" and the challenging question "CAN WE DO LESS?" This powerful image documents the proposed boycott of the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, where 32 Black African nations ultimately voted to boycott in solidarity with the struggle against racism and apartheid. The poster features the Olympic rings above a globe with raised fists emerging from both continents, symbolizing Pan-African unity and resistance. While the full boycott didn't materialize, the movement led to the iconic Black Power salute by Tommie Smith and John Carlos on the medal podium, one of the most memorable protests in sports history. A significant piece of Black Power and Pan-African solidarity history, available in three sizes with your choice of black or silver aluminum frame.
