Stock Photo - US' former athlete Tommie Smith pictured during a ceremony for the unveiling of a glass plate for two former US athletes in marge of tomorrow's Doctor honoris causa ceremony, at the KU Leuven Catholic University, in Leuven, Wednesday 22 June 2022. At the medal ceremony, Smith and Carlos appeared in black socks without shoes, as a symbol of poverty among black Americans. They bowed their heads and raised their black gloved fists in solidarity for the Civil Rights Movement. That silent gesture became an icon in the African American civil rights movement and in the struggle against oppression of disadvantaged groups in the world...BELGA PHOTO HATIM KAGHAT.
