. >> that year in mexico city, american sprinters tommy smith and john carlos won the gold and bronzeals repetitively in the 200 meters. on the medal stapped they went shoeless as nod to poverty. and as national anthem played, hung their head and raised their fists in salute john carlos said was not anti-american but pro black. >> when we all of the people loved me yesterday and hated me today. >> you could feel it at that moment. >> at the very same moment. >> you could hear it from the crowd. >> it wasn't like they were singing the national anthem they were screaming like going to shove it down our throats. >> they were thrown off the team and out of the olympic village. and flew home to country that for them would never be the same. >> so many white people telling me that i was a fool, i was standing up on that platform alone. >> there are a lot of athletes who believe that once you stand up there at that time, that is not the place to make a political statement. >> well, maybe do it in their bedroom. maybe that's the time and place. maybe go out on park avenue, out there on park a

john carlos frey? >> it is also interesting the circumstances under which these happen.ot denying border patrol agents have a dangerous job and they need to at times possibly use their weapons, but it always seems when the conditions or when the details are suspicious, border patrol agent can claim rock throwing. i'm actually in tucson right now taking a deeper look into a 16-year-old who was killed about a year and a half ago, shot 10 times in the back by border patrol agent for allegedly throwing rocks. if you go to the area where the young man was killed, it is next to impossible or him to have been able to throw a rock. he would've had to throw it through an almost impenetrable border fence. these claims are not policies the u.s. actually supports in other zones around the world -- israel and palestine we are between those two countries askedisraeli troops are to fire rubber bullets as opposed to lethal weapons. we are not really abiding by our own policies across the globe. for some reason, we can do that here the u.s.-mexico border. >> this summit, the impact in me

with john, you wrote carlos the john carlos story and she mentioned that olympic moment. >> just worthtioning, when john carlos went to mexico city, he wasn't doing it to protest the politics of mexico but the politics of the united states and that was brought with particular danger and just being ostracized upon his return. i've spoken with giancarlo several times about the sochi games. he is a supported -- supportive of the movement and athletes rights. >> do you think we will see this moment at the sochi olympics? >> i don't know what form it will take, but i've spoken to enough people to know the role the many visible signs of lgbt dissent and the fight for lgbt liberation of these games. >> let's go to canada. you have written a lot about gender diversity, about sexuality, gender politics and the old epic industry. talk about the significance of sochi 2014. i think it has the potential to change history. the world has lost the upper to to the majestic as they did before the berlin games, the nazi games of 1936. on the other hand, there has been worldwide outrage at putin's russia

it made me think of the mexico city olympics of john carlos, of them standing there and saying part of want to do is send a message. in that case they were sending a message back to america, that it was insufficiently egalitarian. in this case he's saying our country is more egalitarian. >> one of the last closets for gay people is the locker room. we could have either boycotted the games like we did in 1980 in response to the soviet invasion of afghanistan or like john carlos, actually attend and stage a political protest, which is illegal, but to stage a political protest to say, hey, this is who we are, we exist and we're human like you and we can actually compete like you. >> sometimes the protest isn't even a john carlos version, it's just going and beating, and by beating, not only are we human but we may be superior athletes in some way. >> that's right. again, that was a decision in 1936 to attend the nazi olympics. with a certain kind of political significance of actually attending and having a jesse owens show the world that black people can excel in all sorts of things again

in 1968, athletes took a message of social justice to the podium, raising a black power salute, john carlos, one the athletes said decades later god told the angels, take a step back, i'll have to do this myself. cold war politics were a staple of the games for decades. from competition rivalries, the u.s. hockey team defied all odds to beat those soviets, 4-3, producing one of the most famous lines in the history of sports broadcasting from our own al michaels. do you believe in miracles? yes. to the 1980 boycott of the summer games in moscow, which president jimmy carter decided after the soviet union's invasion of afghanistan. human rights issues are also nothing new, as well. in 2008, china tried to reintroduce itself to the world during the beijing olympics amid allegations of human rights violations. this time around, sochi is putting russia's record on lgbtish sures on display. an advisor for the global quality said sochi in many ways is a new chapter in the lgbt movement and our work is to educate people at home. president obama has been publicly critical of the anti-gay law that ru

"newshour" special correspondent john carlos frey reports from georgia. >> i open it up, and -- just rip it down the middle. >> reporter: trista cuts a lot of coupons these days. in fact, she's become a bit of a fanatic about it. >> this is my coupon box. container. i carry it with me to the grocery store. coffee, cake, butter, milk, pasta. sugar. this one here is for household goods and personal items. you never know that coupons will save you as much money as it actual lay. >> reporter: the 38-year-old who lives in a suburb just outside of atlanta, georgia, has been saving all these coupons, because as of december 28th, she has no income. she was one of 1.3 million americans who lost their unemployment insurance when an emergency federal unemployment insurance program expired. >> that same week that i expected to get that next check was the same week that i had a bill that was due, but i wasn't able to pay it. i had to ask my husband to start paying my part of the bills, and -- that's the sad part. not being able to help my husband. pay -- pay the bills. >> reporter: trista, who us

at the 1968 games in mexico city, tommy smith and john carlos raised their fists in a black power salutel rebuke to ration oppression around the world, including the united states. and today at the sochi games, athletes are standing up against anti-gay hate and discrimination in russia. one dutch snowboarder raised her rainbow glove to the camera after her first qualifying run. the greece national team wore rainbow gloves as well. and today president obama talked about why he made a point of sending openly gay athletes as part of the american delegation. >> we wanted to make very clear that we do not abide by discrimination in any forms, including discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. that i think is consistent with the spirit of the olympics. it is certainly consistent with american values. and we wanted to make sure that people understand that. >> we honor athletes when they push their bodies to the limit. but we also honor them when they push the world to do the right thing.

and like john carlos the 1968 olympian who raised his black gloved fist he said at lease have bodies minds and we are being incredibly, incredibly disingenuous if we ex-pebble them not no use their minds if they see something they feel like they need to speak out about. >> you guys also wrote interestingly that the u.s. has a long and inglorious tradition of attacking agents legits in their mime but only to praise them later. do you think that's the case here if they do protest they will be praised nod. >> the piece we argued hope and history rise in this instance and history is tantalizingly that -- the trajectory of history is tantalizingly out there for us. people coming from the united states know that equality is on the way in many parts of united states. not everywhere, though, and that should be pointed out. no everywhere for lgbt for example. >> one thing, though, athletes will be risk ago lot if they speak out in terms of their relationship the international olympic committee and their future as athletes. but as far as praise back home, i think that's something that they cou

john carlo joins us now from london. why are you against using this particular ploy to transfer the weapon. >> hello. what we say is simply. we are for piece we would like to hep people in syria to get rid of the things. we don't think this is the right way to do it. i mean, it's not the commercial court that has to take the risks of destroying the weapons or supporting largistics. there are better ways to get rid of these things. >> what are the better ways. >> it's as simple as that. the better way is a military place where they have all the way - they can manage to get rid of this. they can basically make destruction better >> if they could have done it at the place you mentionedment why have they chosen this pour as the transfer site. >> because people they are not aware of what is going on. we are basically without information. the government says they'll give us a flyer when 560 tonnes of weapons of mass destruction are arriving in the port. how you can calm the situation, the protesters with a flyer. it doesn't ma

i did that book with john carlos from the '68 olympics.lks with a terrible hip and hundreds of thousands of doll s dollars. that happened after he tried out for the eagles. one harsh hit and the rest of his life he's paying these bills. what the nfl says, there is no way we can do this. in the last bargaining agreement fought hurowly there would be revenue for retired players. at one time they were out on their own. onset diminiementidementia, dep players that are missing their medical appointments because of early on-set dementia and saying this is proof that it's fraud. all kinds of aspersions put on the players. at the bottom of all of this which no one wants to talk about is wholesale hard-core greed. they get as much back from their investment as much as humanly possible. when that equipment runs out, well, it's on to the next one. becomes a meat grinder. >> comes to your point about the capitalism that operates for the players. we'll revenue share at the top. i won't call it socialism but for the very, for the tiny minority. but then

both smith and carlos were kicked out of the american olympic contingent and sent back home but that was also their last event, john was heard and they came back to the states. >> i had forgotten that been kicked out of the village after their last event. let's talk about the olympic position on this protest which it comes to protests. >> rule 50 pro had i been et cetera athletes from protests, something that the ioc president recently addressed in sochi. >> please understand what our responsibilities are and what your supports are. responsibili. have the courage to address your disagreements in a peaceful direct political dialogue and not on the backs of the athletes. >> so as much as they tried, john, to keep politics out of the olympics if a game or lesbian athlete or heterosexual in support of the issues gets up on a podium and makes a gesture as we saw in 1968 there is not much the ioc can do and that image will live on fortunate. >> we'll watch and see. thanks very much, michael. >>> it's been 40 days cincy i didn't want's interim government detained three al jazerra journalists accused of spreading false new
