What are some beliefs of vikings?
Vikings were polytheists, similar to the Greeks or Romans, however, their myths tended to be a bit more aggressive, as the culture was more war oriented. The goal of the Vikings was to die in battle so that they would be taken up by valkyries to valhalla where they would spend eternity fighting in glorious battles by day and drinking and feasting all night. Another famous myth is Ragnarok, which is the end of the first world when Odin and the other gods fight the frost giants and lose, resulting in the entire world being frozen and dead.
Why did Jesse Owens raised his fist at the Olympics?
Jesse Owens did not raise his fist at the Olympics .... it wasTommie Smith and John Carlos. Teammates at San Jose State University, Smith and Carlos were stirred by the suggestion of a young sociologist friend Harry Edwards, who asked them and all the other black American athletes to join together and boycott the games. The protest, Edwards hoped, would bring attention to the fact that America's civil rights movement had not gone far enough to eliminate the injustices black Americans were facing. Edwards' group, the Olympic Project for Human Rights (OPHR), gained support from several world-class athletes and civil rights leaders but the all-out boycott never materialized.
Still impassioned by Edwards' words, Smith and Carlos secretly planned a nonviolent protest in the manner of Martin Luther King, Jr. In the 200-meter race, Smith won the gold medal and Carlos the bronze. As the American flag rose and the Star-Spangled Banner played, the two closed their eyes, bowed their heads, and began their protest.
Smith later told the media that he raised his right, black-glove-covered fist in the air to represent black power in America while Carlos' left, black-covered fist represented unity in black America. Together they formed an arch of unity and power. The black scarf around Smith's neck stood for black pride and their black socks (and no shoes) represented black poverty in racist America.
