Did you happen to see Michelle Obama’s clenched fist salute when walking on to the stage on Saturday?
Clenched fist salute
The raised clenched fist was popularized by the Communist Party, and in some locations it maintains that association. In the United States, the raised fist was associated with the Black Power movement, symbolized in the 1968 Olympics Black Power Salute; a clenched-fist salute is also proper in many African nations, including South Africa. However, the two salutes are somewhat different: in the Black Power salute, the arm is held straight, while in the working-class salute the arm is bent slightly at the elbow.
