Answer:

The individuals that raised a black-gloved fist during the medal ceremony at the Summer Olympics were Tommie Smith and John Carlos.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Black Power Salute of the Olympic Games of Mexico 1968 was a famous sign of protest of the African American civil rights movements in the United States. After winning the 200-meter race at the Olympic Games, African-American athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos, gold and bronze medalists, raised their fists wrapped in a black glove as the American national anthem began to sound.
