The 1968 Olympics, Black
Power salute was an act of
protest by the African-American
athletes, Tommie Smith and
John Carlos. As they turned to
face their flags and hear the
American national, they both
raised a black-gloved fist and
kept them raised until the
national anthem had finished.
All three of the competitors all
wore human rights badges on
their jackets.
St Kilda vs Collingwood, round 4, 1993. Nicky Winmar (St Kilda forward) was racially abused by a member of the Collingwood cheersquad.

The South African Rebel tours
• These are the times when South Africa were not allowed to play cricket or rugby because they were being racist to the black people and they were banned. They were called rebel tours because some countries went to South Africa to play cricket/rugby against them even thought they were banned.
• This all started when South Africa refused to let black people participate in their Olympic Games team. Because of this South Africa was banned from competing in; The Olympics, The FIFA World Cup, International test Cricket and Rugby.
• The South African rebel tours were a series of seven cricket tours staged between 1982 and 1990. They were known as the rebel tours because South Africa was banned from international cricket throughout this period as a result of the apartheid regime. As such the tours were organised and conducted in spite of the express disapproval of national cricket boards and governments, and the International Cricket Conference and international organisations including the United Nations.[1] The tours were the subject of enormous contemporaneous controversy and remain a sensitive topic throughout the cricket-playing world.
