John Carlos in Conversation: UK Tour May 16-30 with Dave Zirin

On the eve of the London Olympics, John Carlos will embark on a two-week speaking tour of the UK.

John Carlos in Conversation will be a unique opportunity for people across the UK to hear Carlos describe the personal and political reasons why he took the decision to raise his clenched gloved fist and explain how over the last 44 years that one gesture has radically altered his personal and professional life.

Joining Carlos on his speaking tour will be the award-winning writer Dave Zirin, co-author of The John Carlos Story.

Carlos and Zirin will be in the UK from the 17th - 31st May 2012 and will be in conversation in London, including Stratford - home to the 2012 London Olympics; Norwich, Bradford, Liverpool and Edinburgh. Click for tour and ticket info.
