About This Event
A fictional dramatization of the moment Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised their fists on the 1968 Olympic podium — written by Kemp Powers (Pixar's 'Soul,' 'One Night in Miami'), already staged at San Diego's Old Globe before this Chicago premiere. A real historical flashpoint treated as drama, not documentary, by the playwright's own framing.
