How did the 1968 Black Power Salute affect the Civil Rights Movement?

Can someone please help me tell me how Tommie Smith and John Carlos' Black Power Salute at the 1968 Olympic Games affected the Civil Rights movement? I've done so much research but it is very difficult to connect the two. I know about the symbolism of the men's gloves, etc. but are their any protest for instance when people made the same symbolic gesture? Please help!
