Very cool and interesting BBC article about the “other guy” on the podium with John Carlos and Tommie Smith at the ’68 Olympics in Mexico City. His name was Peter Norman and he was an Australian. He didn’t throw a fist in the air but he stood with them in protest and also paid a heavy price back home. When he died in 2006, Carlos and Smith traveled to Melbourne to act as pallbearers at his funeral. Read on and learn.
