Yes Peter Norman. He did not have to do anything yet he stuck out for what was right and suffered a great injustice for it for much of his life. RIP mate
great video! "...faith...hopes and dreams free from any charred ideals of, 'I did it myself'"...OH MY GOD! WHAT!...MY GOD IN HEAVEN! ...that's powerful...
i need the date of the broadcast could you tell me please when was the interview made and few words on the channel because i would like to refer it to my work
I hate both these men. If a white person rose their fists the first thing that would be said "Racist" But when a black person does it.. "Hero of sports"
Well maybe thats because blacks didn't enslave whites and brought litteraly shiploads of them to a different country... (Non)Violent suppression by an opposite race is bound to provoke (non)violent retaliation, this is just a small nonviolent example... of that..
Just don't understand black racists because they have no grounds for being racist against white people. White people are just so overtly better at everything :)
Let's not forget Peter Norman who received the silver medal. While he did not raise his fist as Smith and Carlos did (he didn't feel that it was appropriate) he wore a badge in support. He was never selected for the Australian Olympic team ever since that moment.
Peter Norman died in 2006. Tommie Smith and John Carlos both gave eulogies and were pallbearers at his funeral.
Curious as to where you received the information that Peter Norman felt Tommie Smith and John Carlos gesture was inappropriate In my studies and as a graduate of the same college to which Smith and Carlos attended, I have learned that Norman was willing to participate in the salute however gloves only come in pairs and there wasnt one for Norman to wear Much respect and recognition has been given to Peter Norman for his silent participation and the hardships he endured following the 68 Olympics
@jonnyjera - Sorry for this late reply. The info came from an interview with Matt Norman, the nephew of Peter Norman. In the interview Matt recalled personal conversations between him and his uncle. Matt Norman produced and directed a movie call "Salute" (2008) which recounts the events from his uncle's POV. It's been 2 years.... but I'll try and source and post a link to that interview.
Dr Tommie Smith and dr John Carlos they are conquerers!

White people didn't do that either, it was their own people. So. Their own people did it for weapons. Wow that sure is great.
ophGR, I suggest you do, Asshole. Plus History books lie ;)
Just like the bible.

Exactly right. He still holds the national 200metre record aswell and yet nobody ever mentions him. A much forgotten man

Thank you Tommie Smith & John Carlos for raising human rights for all Americans- both of you represent the best America has to offer to the world.

@NZTULIPS55 Mate, they did not just do it for Americans. They did it for human kind.
If humans did not wake up and see the truth these guys would have been made villains for ever.
They made us wake up and see the truth.
