Great thread. I learned so much from that little 8 minute video. Good for Mr. Norman...he did what was right, regardless of consequences. That's strength, that's beautiful.

That Australian apartheid man....smh...crazy how little I know about the different versions of apartheid throughout the world. And you think you've read it all, but somehow I'm still surprised by the cruelty and how inhumane governments can be...

And that's only a generation ago. SMH. Literally makes me shudder

That's courage, props to Peter. I think this is what most potential revolutionaries realize that holds them back, when you go all in your and your family's lives will be greatly affected.

That's awesome that Peter Norman stood for what was right despite everything he went through.

I knew he supported them, but I didn't know he gave them the gloves or he went through all of this.

True Hero right there

Found this out couple weeks back in an article. My mind was blown. Always saw the powerful photo
and thought he was just some dude lurkin in the background. He was equally important as they
were and I aint even know it. Son was bout that life for real.

They were going to include Peter, but he asked them to leave his spot empty so that others
could also stand there to show solidarity & support. It get no more real than that.

Land full of racist ******* criminals. Screwing a dude up to 10 years years ago for standing up for racial equality

:x

Props to Peter Norman for never giving in though.

That's what pisses me off the most is how ******* petty and hateful they were that they wanted break him. They waited until he died to even show him respect.
