Athletes Beyond the Wind- A Conversation with the 1968 Olympic Track Team

Based on the book "Athletes Beyond the Wind" written by AD Emerson, Yolanda Armon and Richard Hanner Sr., which tells the story of the greatest track team in history, the 1968 Track Olympians who would go on to make the most significant demonstration against social injustice in the US, seen around the world at the Mexico Games. Still close more than 50 years later, these great men share their experiences; both on the track and off as a result of their stand. This event was part of the UCLA Black Alumni Association Social Justice Summit held from January 7-10th, 2021.
