En este artículo se exploran las circunstancias de la reaceptación de Sudáfrica en el Comité Olímpico Internacional, los argumentos a favor y en contra de tal decisión, y la estrategia de los organizadores mexicanos para impedir la asistencia de Sudáfrica a la ciudad de México. En ese contexto, se revalúa la famosa fotografía de Tommie Smith, Peter Norman y John Carlos en la ceremonia de premiación de los 200 m lisos, uno de los íconos de la cultura visual del siglo XX.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract On February 1968 South Africa was reaccepted to the International Olympic Committee. This situation brought about the no-show possibility of a group of African, Asian, Caribbean and Eastern European nations, and even African-American athletes, to the olympic games in Mexico City on October of that year. This article explores the circumstances around the reacceptance of South Africa to the International Olympic Committee, the arguments in favor or against this decision and the strategy of the Mexican organizers to inhibit the presence of this country in Mexico City. In this context one of the cultural icons of the Twentieth Century, the famous photography of Tommie Smith, Peter Norman and John Carlos in the award ceremony of the 200 meters sprint running event, is reevaluated.]]></p></abstract>
