Great moment in history.
On October 3, 2006, Peter Norman,
1968 Olympic silver medalist, died in Melbourne, Australia. Norman was
one of the three men on the podium during the 200 metre medal ceremony
along with Tommie Smith and Dr. John Carlos (Official). Norman supported
Smith and Carlos by wearing an Olympic Project for Human Rights badge.
After the Olympics he was reprimanded and ostracized. At his funeral,
Tommie Smith and John Carlos were pallbearers. Here is poem about the little known role of Norman by Josh Healey. http://bit.ly/1E9Pqun
