What was the first Olympics in which black people were allowed to compete?

You can put together a list if you are willing to click through this table: http://en.wikipedia.oki/Athletics_at_the_Summer_Olympics#Men.27s_eventsrg/wi

assuming you mean from the US….IN 1904, the first great moment in Black Olympic history emerged when George Poage became the first Black American to compete in the Summer Games. He not only competed, he became the first Black to win a medal, collecting a bronze medal after a third-place finish in the 400-meter hurdles at the III Olympiad in St. Louis.

Here’s a link to more about Black Olympic achievements.

@Snarp Thanks….thanks for both links. Searching by year….thats exactly what I’m doing. (I really need a job!!!)

@Ruallreb8ters Thank you so much. How very, very interesting that blacks have been “allowed” to compete in the Olympics for all of this time, yet it was another 50 years before they could compete in pro sports.

I dunno. What was the first year we won?
