When athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos performed the Black Power salute during the 1968 Olympics in Mexico, they sent out a powerful message that resounded around the world. But there was another man standing with them that day. This is the story of Peter Norman.

Smith and Carlos’ raised-fist gesture while on the podium after winning medals in the 200-meters final was a protest against the ill treatment of African Americans in the United States. The Civil Rights Act was just four years old at the time.

Born on June 5, 1942, Norman grew up in Coburg near Melbourne, Australia. His family was heavily involved with the Salvation Army. And despite starting off his working life as an apprentice butcher, Norman was soon pursuing a career in athletics.

As well as featuring in numerous national competitions, Norman competed in the 1962 and 1966 Commonwealth Games. But he made his appearance on a larger stage when he was selected to represent Australia in the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico.
