Allan Pike Retweeted Ciarán the Masked Shadow Sorcerer
I had read this story a few years ago, but it's still worth sharing. Powerful stuff, but also depressing how the Australians handled the situation at the time and only after Norman's death did they rectify the mistakehttps://twitter.com/notagain127/status/1271873487305617416 …

Today I learned...
The white man in this photo was Peter Norman from Australia who finished 2nd the 1968 200m final. Norman stood in solidarity with the American Black athletes. It was Norman who suggested, when discovered they only had 1 pair of gloves, to each wear one. (cont) pic.twitter.com/XjYOM8xe9D
