SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Former Olympic sprint stars and civil activists Tommie Smith and John Carlos earned fame and scorn when they raised their gloved fists on the medal podium at the 1968 Mexico City Games and bowed their heads through the national anthem in protest during the heart of racial tension in the U.S.They were booted out of the Olympic village, condemned and sent home, then eventually celebrated back in the Bay Area years later.As the Rio de Janeiro Olympics prepare to kick off this week, these two men returned to where they shined on campus at San Jose State and now have a 23-foot statue of that history-making moment, helping the university with the announcement Monday that it is reinstating the storied mens track and field program in 2018 after nearly three decades without one.The Olympic project for human rights was started, and it was completed, Smith said Monday. Well stand behind ideas like that `til the day we die. This statue on my right represents you all. John Carlos and Tommie Smith might be the ones who put a foot on those steps, who were standing, but let me tell you, when we walked off, we carried you with us. I humbly thank all of you for the support back then. ...

It raised our national struggle for racial justice to global consciousness. And of course today, again, race has surged in a national discussion.With many of their former teammates on hand, Smith and Carlos cherished the idea that their legacy would carry on through new young men in track and field in a place that meant so much to their athletic careers. Mens track and field was dropped in 1988.Were also bringing back track and field to honor their courageous stand for human rights, athletic director Gene Bleymaier said.
