Wikipedia
More recently in history, Tommie Smith and John Carlos held up their leather glove-clad fists at the awards ceremony of the 1968 Summer Olympics.
Their actions were intended to symbolize Black Power, but they were banned from the Olympics for life as a result of the incident.
Yet another of the more infamous episodes involving a leather glove came during the 1995 O. J.
Simpson murder case in which Simpson demonstrated that the glove purportedly used in the alleged murder was too small to fit his hand.
The glove and its impact on the case have caused the term O. J.
Gloves to become a popular nickname for black or brown leather gloves.
Rappers 50 Cent and Kanye West have referenced these infamous gloves in their songs.
