Jacob Lawrence, a prominent African American Artist, was asked to be one of the fine artists to participate in the creation of the 1972 Olympic posters. After being commissioned to create a work, he decided to take this opportunity to create a poster that reflected a more diverse version of the Olympics which was not typically displayed. His poster depicted a group of Black runners in the final moments of their race, allowing him to highlight the achievements of those often left out of Olympic imagery.
