Was the 1968 Olympic Boycott Movement a success or a failure? Be sure to discuss the main players (Harry Edwards, etc.), why the Olympic Project for Human Rights was formed, the OPHR’s demands, and the actions taken or not taken by prominent Black athletes.

Answer questions 1 and 2, 750 words each, from the PDF assignment sheet attached. I will provide the sources and specify which source can go for which question.

For Question 1: Use sources “Militant” and “Swiftie.”
For Question 2: Use sources “Militant” and “Bill”

I have attached the sources as PDFs, please include in-text citations, no Works Cited are needed as outside sources are not allowed.

In case the PDF is confusing to read, these are the questions:
1) Was the 1968 Olympic Boycott Movement a success or a failure? Be sure to discuss the main players (Harry Edwards, etc.), why the Olympic Project for Human Rights was formed, the OPHR’s demands, and the actions taken or not taken by prominent Black athletes.
